The groundhog's scientific name is Marmota monax, making it one of 14 types of marmot that can be found in the Northern Hemisphere.

Which is also in the squirrel family, to educate/confuse people further.

I'm here for the universal renaming of all groundhogs/woodchucks as marmots. These are some of my favorite animals, and it's always a treat to find them in the alpine. Hell yeah city marmots.
