..or the more common name: Groundhog.

These little ( > to big ) creatures are found in many places throughout the eastern US. They live under ground in their burrows. Perhaps like a big Krtek. But they look much different.

This is a youngster, who I saw out in the back yard of my apartment building. As you can see: I have seen quite a lot of wildlife from my windows, especially in the early evening..

plus many many lightning bugs in the evening, as the sun goes down.
