Alps, Carpathians, Pyrenees, Tatra mountains of Europe. Alpine marmots live in grazed sub-alpine pastures and higher elevation alpine regions. Like many other Old World marmots, alpine marmots live in family groups where there is a breeding pair and offspring from previous years. Older male offspring have been shown to help thermoregulate younger siblings during the cold alpine winters. Occasionally sons may mate with their mothers. About half the adult females will breed in a given year. Litter sizes are small, about two and a half pups. Active seasons are relatively long, five and a half months, but young tend not to disperse for at least 3 years. Sometimes new adult males move into a social group and kill pups.

Barnes, Extension Wildlife Specialist Often called a groundhog or whistle pig, the woodchuck (Marmota monax) is one of Kentucky?s most abundant mammals. Woodchucks rank fourth in game animals pursued throughout Kentucky and provide a tasty meal when boiled or fried. Woodchucks? extensive burrowing activity provides homes for other game and fur-bearing animals. In some areas, rabbit populations are directly linked to the number of vacant burrows available as denning sites. When woodchucks move from abandoned pastures and odd areas into fields, gardens and orchards, they can damage home gardens or vegetable crops, especially beans, peas, and squash. They can damage fruit trees by gnawing or clawing on the trunk.

But they?re all groundhogs, and it?s the only animal with a holiday all its own. This time of year, most are hibernating, dropping their heart rates to four beats per hour. Males do come out of their burrows in February, not to predict the weather, but to search for a mate. When they sense danger, groundhogs let out a shrill whistle to alert others, and then dash back into their burrows. If you haven?t yet seen a groundhog, just wait. In the last 15 years their population has spread from North Carolina?s mountains through the Triangle to the upper coastal plain. back to Nature Notebook Home What's New?

Most of us who live in the country and cultivate a garden are all too familiar with Marmota monax, the woodchuck. All we usually see of him, however, is a low brown shape streaking from the ravaged garden to his hole in the raspberry patch or under a building. You might think of him as merely a walking stomach with an endless capacity for garden vegetables. Why, for instance, does he prefer a prickly squash vine to a nice succulent pigweed? It seems like pure perversity.

Unlike a rabbit, who will nibble at your plants, a woodchuck totally destroys them. Some people have commented that it looked like a lawnmower went through the garden or flower bed. The picture below should give you an idea of what they look like. People also call them gopher, groundhog, and, occasionally, I have heard people refer to them as a hedgehog. BIOLOGY: Woodchucks live in holes (or burrows) in the ground. They could be 6 feet deep and upwards of 30 feet across. Every year they live there, they dig more tunnels. Around late October/November, they go underground and sleep till around the third week of March.

Smith, President Roberts Mann, Superintendent of Conservation ****:THE GROUND HOG February 2 is Ground Hog Day. The ground hog or woodchuck, known also as the "whistle pig", is supposed to wake from his long hibernation, take a peek at the weather, and either go back to sleep for another six weeks or stay awake in anticipation of an early spring -- depending upon whether or not the sun is shining. He gets a lot of publicity, but like Greta Garbo, all he wants is to be alone. They are solitary surly animals. Each adult has its own burrow. They are very wary but occasionally you may spy one, alarmed, sitting bolt upright like a statue, listening.

As many as 10 to 15 closely-packed animals crowd together in a single, carefully lined burrow. During summer, they feed outside their burrows and give loud whistles when sighting an intruder. (They have sentinels and thus a well structured community.) The Himalayan marmot is about 2 feet long with a 5 inch tail.

This name is well taken because of the vast subterranean burrows that it digs and lives in. Each burrow consists of several rooms with sleeping area located at the highest elevation and small chambers below serving for hibernation or toilet facilities. The toilet rooms are cleaned regularly and the wastes taken to the surface and buried. Deserted groundhog dens are used by foxes, raccoons, opossums and other mammals for living quarters as well as quick sanctuary from enemies. The groundhog is a renowned weather prophet. A common legend contends that, if he leaves his burrow on February 2 and sees his shadow, six weeks of bad weather will follow. On the other hand Read More Go to Site Woodchuck Control Votes:0 The woodchuck, or groundhog, is a member of the squirrel family. It has a compact, hefty body, short, strong legs with long, curved claws on the forefeet for digging and a short tail. It is heavily furred and dark brown in color, weighs from 3 to 6 kilograms (5 to 10 pounds) and is 40 to 55 cm (16 to 20 inches) long. Although they are slow runners, woodchucks are alert and can quickly move into their dens when alarmed. Life History and Habits: Woodchucks hibernate during the winter, becoming active in late February and March. Mating occurs in March and a single litter of two to four young is produced annually. The young are weaned by late June or early July, and soon thereafter strike out on their own--usually occupying old, abandoned dens.
