Fur Friends

…Last week while my best friend was down, I got to get out and enjoy nature a few times, which was wonderful.  One of the times, we ran into a family of groundhogs.  I am still not 100% certain if they are groundhogs or not, I thought they were muskrats at first.  I am not too good with telling the difference between large rodents.  If you know what they in fact are, let me know.  There was a family with little guys and I swear they were playing and wrestling like kittens and making the cutest squeaky sounds I’ve ever heard, it was sooo cute.  And they kept coming real close to me.  I was in wildlife animal cuteness heaven.

Here are a few shots I took…

These pics are amazing! They look like groundhogs to me, but like you I'm not so sure when it comes to big rodents. They are quite adorable :) I can't believe you were able to get so close! Looks like they were as curious about you as you were about them.

I have heard of ground hogs however, I thought they would be sort of more piggy. These are more cutie looking beaver boys.

...I thought they were very beaver-ish as well!!! but i asked a bunch of people and groundhog was the most common answer. i'll have to start keeping record of all the answers and come up with a verdict. it's bugging me!!! hehe.

wow those are pretty cute! i think they're groundhogs, but the only groundhog ive ever seen is the one that my cat dragged in at 5 am. that one was more vicious and angry than cute. understandably so...

they do look very beaver-ish though, but dont beavers have that flat wide tail thing? i vote groundhog.

What are they doing in pic number 8???
I thought other people might have noticed that, but i scrolled through the comments, and nope- i'm the only sicko here.

They are so CUUUUUUTE! I love little furry creatures too. Especially these, as we don't have them here!
Loves the little random squirrel in there too. We don't have those either. I find them so cute and magical fairytale looking :)
