FUN FACTS:
💠Did you know groundhogs are also called "whistle-pigs"? When they sense danger, they let out a high-pitched whistle to warn their family!
💠The Virginia Opossum🐭 is the only marsupial (an animal with a pouch) found in North America. They are more closely related to kangaroos than to rats or raccoons.
