Great capture! I have never seen them fight. We have groundhogs on our property. I had to groundhog-proof the garden a few weeks ago because they were eating through everything. If you let them, they'll start at one row and keep on eating until they're finished with the row.

Thank you! Fortunately these groundhogs in this video are far away from any garden. I hope any groundhogs stay out of your garden.

A fearsome spectacle by any standard.

[@sometimesoutdoors]

Indeed! Thanks for watching!

[@midatlanticbackyard]

Awesome footage! They look like they may be young; do you think it's siblings wrestling around?

[@sometimesoutdoors]

Thank you! Yes, they look young and I think that they might be siblings.

1:07 🤣Too cute

[@sometimesoutdoors]

Great timestamp! Thanks for watching.

[@JacqHeerings]

That is very nice, I hope it is not a real fight 😊🙋‍♂️

[@MyaYard]

@@sometimesoutdoors Loved it all but that was my favorite part - had me laughing!

[@chipusas1161]

Brutal takedowns

[@sometimesoutdoors]

Yes! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

this is playfighting, though, right? it doesn't seem like genuine aggression. More than once a chuck is voluntarily going over on its back, which I doubt they'd ever do in a real fight.

[@sometimesoutdoors]

I agree. It does have playfighting appearance to it. Both woodchucks walk away unscathed.

I Actually think they are playing

[@sometimesoutdoors]

It does look like that too! Thanks for watching!
