Gardener Trying to Protect His Veggies Ends Up Documenting a Groundhog Family for 7 Years | The Dodo

Groundhog moms know exactly how to handle teenagers 😂 We catch up with the gardener behind one of our favorite wildlife stories. Years ago, Jeff set up a motion-activated camera to figure out who was eating his vegetables — and met Chunk, a groundhog who stared straight into the lens while snacking 🥕 Since then, Chunk has brought a girlfriend, raised babies, and turned the garden into a home for an entire wildlife community. Over seven years, Jeff has adapted his space to coexist with them, and now he’s working toward opening a wildlife sanctuary in Delaware so animals like Chunk’s family can finally get care close to home 🫶 Jeff is currently working on a children’s book inspired by the Chunk family 🫶 For more updates as Jeff and the Chunk family head into a new season, please follow ‪@ChunkTheGroundhog‬ on Instagram: https://thedo.do/-chunk_the_groundhog & TikTok: https://thedo.do/-chunkthegroundhog And keep up with Jeff on Instagram: https://thedo.do/gardener_jeff Love Animals?
