They are considered the largest ground squirrel in Michigan.   
 
Nuisance Problems:  Groundhogs burrow in and out of hill tops creating landslides and erosion.  They also make tunnels throughout rock walls causing rocks to come lose and tumble down.  Groundhogs make dens under sidewalks causing them to collapse.  They pester dogs and cats.
