Cats: "HA! Look at you stupid wild ones, spending your entire day looking for food while we get it served right to us and can do whatever we want with all of this amazing free time and housing that you plebs don't have." Groundhog: "Challenge accepted! Oh look a hoo-man, time to try this friendship stuff."

I wonder if this ground hog wasn't maybe a relative of this family and was reincarnated. Hmm I guess we will never know.

✨💎 Perfectly spoken

Come get my groundhog he is looking for a family

Absolutely 💯 %

My thoughts

smart move.

Well it seems accurate XD there are few explanations for this groundhog's choices in life XD it does seem the most accurate is that the groundhog wanted to be a pet/companion specifically to this woman XD bless her and her husband for accepting love in all its forms

🤣

I hope it's a good human!!! :)

Thanks for the laugh haha :D

That's great info, thanks! How long do they live? Can you identify any of them as individuals? Do they let you approach them?

sorry guys i hate those bastards

You are so lucky. That sounds so dang cool.

@@markmack2746 I'm currently on baby watch. The adults have been actively readying their summer burrow. It's so much fun to watch when little ones start venturing out with their mom. They will spend months occupying about a 1/4 acre of my property. Once late Fall sets in, they will relocate to the winter burrow. In between the Summer and Winter burrows, some skunks, about 4 years ago, decided to make their own burrow. As the skunks seem to be more nocturnal, I've only caught some quick glimpses. But, I definitely know they're present. Sometimes, if I get too close to the den with my mower, they emit a strong odor..

The way they eat makes me giggle every time I watch

That's one thing that thrill me about them, they just chew with reckless abandon and they never stop chewing

You can save a wild animals life without bringing it home as a pet. I'm sorry it's not a fog or cat. It's a groundhog.

@@amybaskall3472 The animals happy, nothing else matters.

@@amybaskall3472 and this video is about a groundhog that didn't want to be "wild". A groundhog that made some connection with this human and refused to be away from this lady. It may have a den under their porch, it also spends time with them, and it seems to only eats veggies they put out. That does not sound like a "pet" nor does it sound "wild", it sounds like a companionship with an animal that chose its human.

At least they're good to animals, if not to other humans.

Exactly. They aren't property for people to use or own. And she was blessed with the chance to rescue one and share their lives.

The craziest part to me is she's not enclosed or forced to stay in any way but refuses to leave. crazy. i wonder if they go on vacation and come back if she'd still be there.

Agree.... love the chomping away. Lol

I don't think so, I think she was maintained as a pet and was dumped. This why she is scared of cars and it's not of humans.

I agree with Daniel. I think someone took her in as a little baby and 'released' her when she got bigger, not realizing she had no idea how to care for herself in the wild.

👍👍

It was either separated from its family or a dumped pet because ground hogs live in small family groups and one that young would still be with its family

@@AnonymousBosch3158 I totally agree!

Love that comment..

It was a baby

To LORIE: Yes, that sounds possible. Otherwise it seems almost impossible that an animal encountered in the wild would attach itself to a passer-by like that.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I was considering brain trauma/head injury. But that she was dropped off seems to make more sense.

Probably at that age she either became lost or her mother was killed. And it was at just the right time to imprint on the next big thing to make her feel safe. But, who knows.

When a man try’s to rob her he just bursts in with a groundhog sized minigun

When I imprint on some random woman and start following her around, all I get is pepper spray and a restraining order. Maybe next time I should try it while wearing my groundhog costume.

@@daisy9181 Probably not. This animal was a lost baby. It's mother may have been killed, and so it was left to wander. Baby animals don't really develop fear of humans until a certain age; But then again, this baby was found in the middle of the road- so it's possible that the cars screeching by her was traumatizing enough for her to imprint on the human that rescued her from it.

@@Mr.Ekshin lmfao 🤣

I had a co-worker who found an exotic bird in his yard. It bonded with him. He says, it has the personality that crazily is that of a male friend he once had, who had passed away. My co-worker is convinced that the bird is a form of a re-incarnation of that friend.

I know right lol

@@ct4074 binod

I feel like that's a common tendency with these stray animal adoption videos, but it does sort of make sense. The people who record and eventually share these videos are usually people with an exceptional love for animals. So the threshold for adoption isn't really that high as they already have the facilities and basic knowledge to take care of them.

Well...that's how true, unconditional love goes sometimes!!

@@thelimey351 I'm not sure what your argument is about. Wild animals are just that, wild. All animals react differently in a stressful situation be they tame or wild. Some attack and eat each other, others eat their young, and so on. It's life.

You just don't see the cases where animals follow the wrong person and get tortured and killed. Just seeing one side and then drawing conclusions is called survivor's bias. It's like "Oh, all of you soldiers survived this battle AND you all prayed to God/ate vegetables/danced before the battle? That means that you survived BECAUSE of it". Not taking into account that most soldiers who died might've done the same thing, but still got shot.

Yah...yah, that looks like mom....hahahaha

She obviously did need help. Apparently she needed help being picked up and given snuggles!

It's a sign they have been brought up by humans. Nearly all animals learn that humans are the most dangerous creatures they know so they definitely don't seek humans for help unless they have been trained that help is what they'll get from them. Then they are usually killed.

@@chumleyk Being raised by humans isn't the only case. Being desperate is one of the main cases where animals will seek help from humans.

So true

Or they are rabid. Obviously not in this case, but rabies can make an animal appear friendly. Always been careful around wild animals.

I agree. I had a squirrel like this when I was young, mother got run over so I raised him. We lived on the second floor of an apt building surrounded by huge oak trees. One limb came very close to our balcony, so I would let him out to run in the tree. Gave him the choice of being free or with us...he always came back at the end of the day. He would go and play on the tree for hours, then come running back inside. Great little squirrel.

My thoughts exactly, that and one rodent won't be missed? They are rodents? Cute little thing...

The important thing to remember is that no one really cares if you’re against it, you aren’t some wildlife authority figure.

@@vf12497439Yes, groundhogs are members of the rodentia order, so rodents. They are classified as large ground squirrels (squirrels & chipmunks also being rodents).

Or when someone is talking and they stop to swallow a mouth full of spit. blah!

And nursing babies

You should name your next animal "Peeve." Then you can tell everybody, "This is my pet, Peeve."

I do believe you are correct on that one

Amen!

It's been that way for me!

Probably knows her from a previous incarnation

Last cat I had was from a "cat" house where there were a dozen or more scrawny, scraggly cats. He had to cross a busy street where a week or so later I saw a brother or sister of his flattened to death. "Whitey," about 7 months old, came over to my 3 year old, wound himself around Alex's legs and Alex said, "Kitty!" So we were stuck with him. Never used a litter box. Asked politely to be let out or let in, slept with Alex, lounged purring on the sofa or half on someone's lap. Lived for about 17 years after that. We fixed him, but he still had fights. Was 13 pounds of muscle and great balance. Would come when you called him... Nicest pet we ever had. Would bring me dead lizards and birds. I know he loved us. Respect!

That would explain why wildlife rehab wasn't successful... They would have TRIED to treat her like wildlife because that's their job, it's usually in the animals' best interest

Was thinking the exact same thing actually. Definately makes more sense,also it didn’t know how to burrow only nest,so that cld be why also. Thy didn’t know what they were in for or how to look after one or train? I’m with you on this. Bloody sad either way and cruel but with a lucky happy ending

Many pets get nervous or even mad if you get too close while they are eating, I had a dog do this when I was young, he threatened to bite my hand if I was going to touch his face or food dish or especially his food! A wild animal would also be very quick to warn, "hey stay away from me and my food while I'm eating!" But this little guy is so sweet. First time I've seen a domesticated, somewhat, Groundhog.

Sign me up! Got one who lives under our shed. He would eat the pears from one of the trees in the yard, so we started giving him apples when the tree stopped dropping pears. Now, when he sees you, instead of running away, he'll come to you. He won't hand feed, (don't want to encourage that) but will get up to about 3 feet away and let you toss apples to him and then sit with you while eat chows down. Cool little guy!

damn I didnt think of that yet

Everyone keeps saying she was already domesticated, but I've seen many stories of animals that just didn't have parents. It's natural for any creature to cling on to others that take care of it when they are young. I just believe that is the case, because almost nobody likes to keep Groundhogs. This is literally the first case I've heard of that happening.

@@mirandabutler9766 same

I've had 4 of them and they usually attach themselves to one person in the family . This one was domesticated likely previously and was probably attached to a female person . That's how they are .

Yeah...it would seem....but she found a good home

This is the first thoughts struck in my mind, because she not afraid of human and even other domestic animals. Might be her previous experience helped to settle with human and other domestic living beings. God bless her long and healthy life.

Makes sense. Looking for a new human mommy and daddy....

That's a really good thought. I've had wild animals that would become attached to me if injured and needed help, or needed food, but eventually they go back to the wild with little coaxing needed. The fact that she completely bonded to this family and couldn't thrive without them makes me think it's all she knew.

So I don't actually think so because looking at her size, she couldn't have been that old, and groundhogs are not pet animals normally. It's more likely she imprinted on the lady here, possibly because her actual mom had died or she was abandoned.

This isn't a baby though - so wouldn't it have been imprinted on someone other than the woman who found her?

This one was almost definitely not wild. She was way too relaxed/acclimated to being around a human to be wild. Probably taken in as a baby then dumped by a cruel bastard
