I'm in Kalamazoo, Michigan and I have TWO G-hogs living under a huge tree in my yard. I'm no gardener so they're welcome to all of the various wild plants I have on the lot. I understand that they usually live alone, I'm thinking that the living situation has been deemed abundant enough for two because they are almost always together. I play bluegrass mandolin for them on my porch and they'll sit on the tree stump across from me and watch/listen. I'm usually a jazz guy but they seem more interested in the bluegrass. Go figure.
The US and NATO 5.56 mm military ammo was created to kill ... groundhogs. US ranchers, out west, hated groundhogs....because cows would step into their holes and break a leg.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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!!!
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?
I had a big chunk of a groundhog make tunnels and a burrow under my shed. Ruined my shed floor But oh well. Every once in awhile if I saw him out and about I'd play a sound of a groundhog alert whistle and he'd whistle back and it was too funny. Nobody believed me until I proved it to them. Hahaha
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.
