Are There Any Other Names for Groundhogs?
Yes, groundhogs are an animal known to go by many different names. They’re also known as woodchucks, groundpigs, land beavers, and marmots (technically, groundhogs are a specific type of marmot).
Some old-timers refer to them as a whistlepigs. They say that if you want a groundhog to stand up, whistle at them – they will stand at attention looking for the source of the sound. No matter what you call them, though, these digging critters will gladly dig under your fence and destroy your garden beds, searching for food such as grass and flowers.
Why Do You Need Groundhog Trapping Services?
