There is a melanistic groundhog living in my yard - Lemmy.world

It’s not a great picture, but he ran when I tried opening the door.

That’s actually super cool!
I need to go reapply the anti-critter stuff to the hedge of highbush cranberry plants I'm trying to grow because he has been chowing down on them, but other than that, yes.
So cute! Do you get a lot of them around?
We've always had groundhogs around, but only the usual brown ones until now.
That's pretty special
It's still a baby, so hopefully it makes it.
I learned a new word today. Thank you! They are adorable.
I wish the mom was in the picture because the difference is really pronounced.
