I saw several yellow-bellied marmots (woodchucks) at the Bannock County museum running around the outside exhibits. I caught a couple pictures as they ran around.
Reminds me of a childhood rhyme.
"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck; If a woodchuck could chuck wood?" This poem actually has a second part-the answer. "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood, as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood." Woodchucks actually do not chuck wood, but dig burrows in the ground. Theiur name comes from the algonquin word for them, Wuchak.
