Last week, woodchucks began to emerge from hibernation.
Woodchucks
And the Answer is:
Yesterday's Answer: ruby-crowned kinglet.
Todays animal: Fat Sam, our resident released woodchuck, right before he went underground into hibernation. He'll go into suspended animation, his body temperature and heartbeat will drop, and he'll survive off his fat stores till next spring.
Baby Woodchuck Release
Dig it, releasing the baby woodchuck from a few weeks ago that was caught up in netting. He jumped out of the release box and right into an already-existing but disused woodchuck hole, then turned around and poked his head out, like far-out man. Ready-made home.
