Ground Hog

He sure was a big fella, only had the kit lens with me, so this is a fair crop.
I managed to get one before he was on his way.

The proximity of that stick made him look like a miniture elephant in the thumbnail.

At first glance I thought it might be a muskrat.
I have never really seen a ground hog.
Interesting little guy.

interesting animal, is it a sort of marmot?

LOL...you are so right about the errr "trunk". Guess I was so absorbed in getting the shot of this momentary sighting that I never "twigged".lol

Hi Carol,
LOL Bill I thought the same thing when I looked at it and the branch does make him look like he's kin to the elephant. But it is like a Rorschach. The branch recedes to the background or comes forward like a snout however you're thinking. Excellent shot! Love it!! \/

At the first look I was shocked to see such a big snout....but then i realized it was a piece of wood. Great capture :)
