How much wood could a woodchuck chuck,
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

While it makes for a great tongue-twister, the sad answer is: probably none. Woodchucks aren’t particularly tree-oriented, and while they can climb to find food, they prefer being on the ground. In fact, they got the name “woodchuck” from British trappers who couldn’t quite wrap their tongues around the Cree Indian name “wuhak.”

More commonly (and accurately) known as groundhogs, these animals are closely related to squirrels, marmots, and prairie dogs, with which they share an affinity for burrowing. And actually, a burrowing woodchuck can chuck dirt, in the form of tunnels that can reach five feet deep and as much as 35 feet in length.

"If a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would and should chuck wood.
But if woodchucks can't chuck wood, they shouldn't and wouldn't chuck wood.
Though were I a woodchuck, and I chucked wood,
I would chuck wood with the best woodchucks that chucked wood."
