Hi- I am new to geocaching, so I thought I would introduce
myself
by setting my first geocache!
I am a groundhog- so I’ll begin by telling you about us,
(then
I’ll move on to others in my family tree!)
The only US holiday named after an animal is my day-
Groundhog’s
Day (“Turkey Day” does not count!). I really don’t like the
movie
Groundhog Day—not enough of the hunky action star,
Punxsutawney
Phil!
Groundhogs are the largest members of the squirrel family.
Though they we are usually seen on the ground, we can climb
trees
and are also capable swimmers. We love the areas where
woodlands
meet open spaces, like fields, roads, or streams. I eat grasses
and
plants as well as fruits and tree bark.
Here is a picture of my sister on a tree climb cache!
