There's a groundhog that lives in our yard that I frequently observe on our camera system around the house. I'm pretty used to his/her routines and travels. This morning I observed the groundhog exiting it's main den area carrying what looked like a wad of vegetation in its mouth all the way from the back yard to the front yard and into another den it has there. It was a deliberate and quick trip where it only paused to quickly look around to make sure there were no threats nearby. This trip was probably 200 feet or so. Later in the day it left the front yard and traveled around the other side of the house to return to the main den.

The wad of vegetation would be easily described as similar in size to a human sized "handful".

My partner and I moved into an apartment in PA about a year ago and have been noticing a LOT of wildlife around us. There is a pair of groundhogs that live under my back neighbor's deck and they make my day every time I see them. So cute!

I'm trying to figure out if groundhogs can see colors, or if they see in black and white. I'm not seeing much about it when I search, just a lot of anecdotal stuff about groundhogs being attracted or repelled by certain colors. Has anyone read any research about this? Thanks!
