Rodent identification question

[Justin7]

I got this little guy that chews my welcome mat on my back porch. What is it?

[Justin7]

Here's another shot where he charged me. The little guy's fearless!

Ground Hog?

[pavyracer]

Koala bear?

[Justin7]

I didn't know ground hogs were that big. This guy is probably a 30-pounder.

[InTheHole]

They are slow....do you have a dog

[pavyracer]

I didn't know ground hogs were that big. This guy is probably a 30-pounder.

Maybe it's a prairie dog?

[mathdotcom]

Maybe it is trying to join your syndicate

[Mac4Lyfe]

Don't kill him else you might feel the wrath of Peta. According to them, he now is a part of your family and you are now responsible to feed, clothe and house him.

and pay for a full education through an advanced degree...

Maybe it's a prairie dog?

That's my guess.

[flyingillini]

There have been bear sightings around here. Unreal, Justin, invite the sucker in to hang out with you.

[Willie Bee]

I didn't know ground hogs were that big. This guy is probably a 30-pounder.

I'd be very surprised if he weighed even close to that. Photo below is a 20-pound cat, and I'd have to put this rodent's weight below that.

woodchuck

[Teela]

Maybe you should hold/cuddle him to get an accurate weight reading.

[pavyracer]

Don't do this Justin. He may have rabies.

[Justin7]

My cat is 19 pounds. He's smaller, and scared of the "groundhog".

[InTheHole]

I'd be very surprised if he weighed even close to that. Photo below is a 20-pound cat, and I'd have to put this rodent's weight below that.

That's a Mainecoon?

All Fur!

[InTheHole]

woodchuck

get out the .22

[Teela]

Don't do this Justin. He may have rabies.

Hush, Pavy!

Make sure the camera is on, Justin.

[Willie Bee]

That's a Mainecoon?

All Fur!

Yep, a Maine Coon. Lots' of fur, very big feet and head.

[RogueScholar]

That's quite possibly the biggest woodchuck I have ever seen. I believe you are having your own personal Groundhog Day. I've been told that they get up to 30 pounds in areas devoid of natural predators, but that's an eye-opener to be sure. Get yourself a raccoon trap from the local humane society and relocate him is my suggestion. They're natural vegetarians, so you could buy some alfalfa as bait, but you're probably better off just tearing off a piece of that mat and then hiding the rest.
