I saw a post from the rescue I volunteer at saying we got this absolutely adorable 2 week old groundhog!

It was found all alone outside its den, so now it will be living with us until it grows up and is ready to start a den of its own. This little one doesn't even have those big sharp teeth yet.

Despite its scary situation of being lost by its family and then found by scary humans, it looks to be having a nice nap and some active dreams.

Some people may not enjoy these critters, but they are just as special as any other!

Monsters, these people are monsters!

We shall win them over! We've come a long way getting lots of people to accept oppossums and raccoons. A cute little groundhog is just an underground capybara, and the people love them nowadays too!

A short time ago, I wouldn't have expected to want to cuddle a groundhog, but here I am....
