Groundhog


Location: Milliken Park, Steeles Ave. & McCowan Rd.
Date photo taken: 5 September 2013

When you think of urban wildlife, raccoons and squirrels are usually the first critters to come to mind, but groundhogs (or woodchucks if you prefer) are common urban dwellers as well. This one was strolling along the lawn next to the lake in Milliken Park. I may go back in the spring to try and spot some kits. And here's an interesting fact: apparently, groundhogs can climb trees.
