Is "chipmunk" the same thing as "woodchuck"? The only critters of this
nature
I know well are "opussums" and "raccoons". 'Possums are kinda
ratlike-looking
and very antisocial, generally, but in our experience harmless.
Raccoons, OTOH,
have a *lotta* nerve, are very intelligent (I'd swear they can
reason) and can do
limited damage in large numbers (even though cute, you don't wanna
make pets of them, it just doesn't work out well).

Dey aren't da same fing as woodchuks. Woodchuks are big. Chipmunks are
smaller dan skwerls and dey have stripies down dere baks and short little
tayles.
