A bit late for a Groundhog Day post and too early to spot one out of its den. Groundhogs hibernate until March or April in our climate. No friend to farmers or gardeners as their burrowing can do serious damage and they like to feed off crops. They are cute rodents though and are funny when they freeze in plain sight as this one did.

Wow, great shot of his ‘freeze pose’, Belinda. I love when they start running, they can get so low to the ground and scurry fast!

Yes, they are cute! Great shot! They sure look a lot like the beavers on our river. Terrestrial beavers! 🙂

Looks like he is waiting for you to make the first move, then he’ll be gone! They know how to move fast, so you’ll fortunate to get this great pose.

The photo was taken in a wildlife garden in the city, I think he was pretty comfortable around people, happily for me😊

Funny, I thought groundhogs were pretty common everywhere. So I guess we are.

We have Vancouver Island marmots, but they are rarely seen, and I think that’s the closest thing to a groundhog that we have here.

I’ve never seen one except on pictures. They are not very plentiful and not often seen.
