Woodchuck/groundhog/marmot
What is the difference between a woodchuck, a groundhog and a marmot?
What would be the equivalents in Spanish? Woodchuck = Marmota americana? Groundhog = Marmota? Marmot = Marmota/rata de montaña? |
A woodchuck and a groundhog are the same thing. (This animal is also called a whistling pig (a whistler) or a marmot, but the last denomination is stretching it.) A groundhog/woodchuck is the largest mammal of the squirrel family (Family: Sciuridae; Genus: marmota; Species: marmota monax).
marmota de América = groundhog/woodchuck |
Thank you, Rusty.

Apologies to all, but I can't help thinking of the old saw "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Totally on thread, I mean on point..., not only apologies accepted, but input warmly appreciated...
(I hope moderators are of the same inclination... la the Pisa's tower...) |
