Groundhog (Marmota monax)

Happy Father’s Day! In honor of the occasion, here is a groundhog, requested by my father-in-law, Steve. Groundhogs are also called woodchucks, but the tongue-twister “How much ground could a groundhog hog if a groundhog could hog ground?” never really took off. Like almost half of the mammals in the world, groundhogs are rodents. (If you wanted to draw only all the rodents, at the rate of one rodent drawing a day, it would take you about 6 years to finish.)
