Thank you! It was a pretty awesome experience! :-D Ironically, I always keep my eyes peeled for groundhogs when I go to Edwards Gardens as I've seen them there before. However, I was only expecting to see one from a distance. I never imagined that one would come up to me!
At least you weren't afraid of the cute little critter and fed him some treats. :)
Well, I have to admit that I was a little nervous about it climbing up on the bench with me. I'm not sure why. I guess it's because groundhogs are bigger than chipmunks and squirrels, and I wasn't sure what to expect from him.
This guy that I used to work with was so afraid of ground hogs that he wouldn't walk by one on the side of the road! I told him they are mainly herbivores, but he was still scared. Granted, the one we had living in the industrial park where I work was a pretty big one, but I thought it was hilarious that a grown man was scared of a large chubby rodent. XD
Okay, that is pretty funny. I mean, I can understand being a bit scared as I've seen some pretty big groundhogs myself, but crossing the road to avoid one is a bit much. They are herbivores and, from what little I've seen, they usually run when they're frightened. They don't attack. Of course, I'm guessing that groundhog had no reason to be afraid of that man. *g*
