Groundhogs are solitary creatures that dig burrows to live in. They are only found in North America.

Groundhogs are mostly herbivores but will also eat insects. They like to eat lettuce, clover, dandelions, bark and fruit like berries and apples. But they will also eat grubs, snails and grasshoppers.
