Dennis Cheeseman passed along this shot of a Groundhog near the Kingsland Overlook Trail. When it comes to keeping up appearances, this is one rude dude.
One theory is that it probably just broke hibernation and has been curled up in a burrow for the last few months, which would give him that "just got out of bed" look, but this might go well beyond that.
(Thanks, Dennis!)
He’s so cute! Great theory there. He surely have the “just got out of bed” look. Although that makes him a charmer.
Looks more like a form of mange to me.
Don’t worry pal, I have mornings like that also.
Can I get a hairbrush??!!!
