I use to be in the military, and at least two of the bases I was posted to in Ontario had thousands of groundhogs, living everywhere there was grass. At one of the bases, I lived in a barracks for about a year, and on the ground floor, there was an outer hallway, with continuous windows on the side which faced out. The hallway was technically half underground with a kind of grassy berm, which came right up to the bottom of the line of windows, at about waist level. Right where it met the windows was a large opening to a burrow of groundhogs. Every morning before work, I’d go look out the windows in that hall and see the little babies sitting right there, waiting for mommy to lead them out. It reminded me of like a groundhog exhibit at a zoo. Lol

Lucy was not an ancestor of us humans. She was a sedge-munching, perpetually facultatively wading proto-gorilla. NOT A PROTO_HUMAN.

I just finished reading "Lucy, the beginnings of humankind", one of the best books I've read. I didn't think I could listen to Johansen lecture on these topics. Surely, despite my young age, I was lucky enough to know his scientific production, which does not have an age, it is not one of the fossils that the professor (and his colleagues) found, actually, the opposite, it has the power to see into the future, sinking its roots into a past millions of years away.

My dod and I stepped outside and something HUGE scurried up the tree- we were so startled, but we had startled a woodchuck/groundhog! I've NEVER seen one climb a tree it was so strange. They are cute though, i didn't know they were in the squirrel family.

Omg so fat!!!

Its all a HOAX ! Lucy is made up !

I want to hug one ❤

My name is Harvey Webster

Это суслик ?

why are they called ground dogs when theyre rodants

I feed the groundhogs under my shed apple cores with peanut butter on the sides

He does what he does perfectly. This man makes exactly what he wants to and IDK how he isn't famous

Such a cute little beings ❤ I didn't knew I literally was BORN on a groundhog's day! As we don't celebrate it in Poland 😂 they are adorable ❤

just think this is exactly what extinct ground sloths used to do, dig massive dens underground, creating shelters for many animals

As Spock says Fascinating

Im just trying to find out if the mother how she is with her pups when there at that age cuz i got 3 left out of 6 n all day the mothers not allowed him under my porch where they live n im worried hes literally got no where to go theres so many damn groundhogs around n where im located idk where hell go n its getting dark out!

That was wonderfully presented. Thank you Mr. Webster and CMNH.

This the same Lucy that was discovered to be just a chimpanzee. Fake drawings and models in museums of lucy to make her look more human without enough of the actual fossils. Heckel's fake drawing, peltdown man tons of frauds in evolutionary science.

They taste awesome :)

One question. Can they dig out a hole from underground?

Harvey does like his voice a bit 🤣 Love these presentations. Thank you Dr Johanson

never stop.

So you wanna hear 6 more weeks of crap weather. Well winter barbecue. Time for six more weeks. Hot and 🌶 spicey

Cool 😎 🆒️ man

lucy is not a human, not a prehuman, she is not a human ancestor.. she is a preape hominin or hominid.. she has nothing to do with humans.. the oldest humans are 15,000 years old by dna

I had a Ground hog visit me in my back yard the other day he was eating lots of apples lol

Awesome lecture. Very informative from a man who has spent his life doing what he loved. Thank you for having passion in your work to show the evolution of the Homo species. Thank you!!!

I have woodchucks as pets their great pets

Fantastic video, very informative without being childish! I only wish you'd included some sounds from the groundhog; I mean, are they called whistlepigs because they make a whistling sound?

อ้วนเหมือนพรีมเลยคับ

I wanna cuddle one...

My Grandfather used to eat them. Not bad when BBQed.

Good lemming. Ita marmotte.

Wow standing ovation

Amazing lecture

😃Awesome😃

elle est belle

19, wow! I must've missed a few because I only counted 17 new species of praying mantises. And all from 2014?! I was in school at the time when the episode aired on Wild Kratts. And I have just learned wayyy later on that this species of praying mantis is discovered and named in honor of the Kratt brothers for their hard work in protecting the animals of the world.

Ha ha! Evolution right before your very eyes - how to reconstruct a chimpanzee skeleton to make it look more human. Lol! You couldn't make this stuff up, but they can. 😄😄😄

hibernation is not sleeping during the whole winter, its a slow process of digestion in animals. They still need to eat. Tell this guy to go read a book.

Excellent video!

When your a farmer Groundhogs are your enemy and you have to eliminate them.

Keep being the videos..

This guy is a fantastic presenter, the way he explained everything, he was so excited about groundhogs it made me excited... About groundhogs

I can’t stand them they’re eating my garden I plan on trying to shoot it when I get a chance with a 22 rifle

so how do i get rid of them

Right in town we have 'em. I had a groundhog high rise , three way tunnels in a mound of moved earth from after digging a basement wall. Now they are next door under their big porch. I saw two little ones run past me the other day. I keep them out but a family of 3 squirrels enjoy under the roof video monitored housing with me.

I watched a mama groundhog and her babies grazing last week. Such little chubsters, I love them!

Destroyed my property and damaged a foundation to my deck. Tried for more then a year with different ways but enough was enough. They don’t listen or care and when property is damaged then the game changes. .22 air rifle took care of the problem once and for all

Xenocerestop is live about 78 million
