Groundhogs

The three animals that I would absolutely like to have as pets are hamsters, wombats, and groundhogs because they are cute. Since today is groundhog day, I would like to talk about groundhogs. Groundhogs are mammals that usually live in the Great Plains. They live in large groups and burrow themselves underground. When they are outside, they have some members of their pack to watch for predators. These watchers stand all day, almost motionless and when a predator comes, squills to let the others know. Even if they live in praire regions, they can climb up trees. Sadly, these cute animals live only for 2 to 3 years. That's probably why the groundhog for Groundhog Day keeps changing.
