Do wood chucks eat wood

Answer 1

No. Woodchucks primarily eat wild grasses and other vegetation, and berries. They also eat grubs, grasshoppers, insects, snails and other small animals. The name woodchuck is unrelated to wood or chucking. It stems from an Algonquian name for the animal, wuchak.

Answer 2

No but the question brings us this tongue twister: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood"? In the tongue twister, it says "'IF' a woodchuck could chuck wood" so 'if' means if they would be able to..

However, since they are burrowing animals, they do chuck dirt.

On the Geico commercial, it says: "Hey you woodchucks stop chucking my wood!" That does not mean real groundhog / woodchucks ever chuck wood (timber, trees), though.

Answer 3

No. Woodchucks are herbivores and do not eat meat. They prefer grasses, leaves and flowers, and will readily venture into gardens to eat fresh vegetables, fruit, or flowers from ornamental flower beds.

Answer 4

No. The woodchuck is the same animal we call a groundhog (Marmota monax).

An adult woodchuck is several times the size of an average squirrel, normally weighing about 4 to 9 pounds (2 to 4 kg). It is not as large as a beaver, which can grow to 25 pounds (12 kg) or more.

Answer 5

Yes. I just saw a woodchuck eating acorns in my yard.

Answer 6

Out of experience, they will attack small dogs. But, only it they feel threatened.

Answer 7

Woodchucks do not eat snakes. They are completely vegetarian in diet. Some of their favorite foods include beans, peas, carrots, broccoli, and tomatoes.
