Urban monster groundhog



2011-02-06 - Town Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo by Pen.
At first glance, its size first suggests a capybara. But it's just an average Adair County urban monster groundhog. Didn't weigh him, but he's big. Anyone without Billy Joe Fudge's internal calculator, which can weigh a running wild animal from a speeding car to within three ounces can can only guess at the weight of this one. Probably not as big as the largest capybara, which can be 140 pounds, but if he's not all winter fluff, he'd feed a good sized tribe. He's been grazing on the fertile Town Creek bottomland. There are several good groundhog recipes at Outdoor Michigan.com, one of the few groundhog recipe locations which does not caricature the animal with dumb suth'ren humor. Among the recipes are Waco Groundhog in Sour Cream, Oriental Style Groundhog, Woodchuck Stew, Woodchuck Meatloaf. Groundhogs are also known as Whistle Pigs, and Pasture Pigs, as well Woodchucks.
