2. Groundhog? Neat animals, grandma didn't like them since they went after her garden crops.

3. Nutrias aren't groundhogs, they are semiaquatic rodents more similar to muskrats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutria They can be destructive burrowers, though.

4. Ah, thank you! I'd heard of these animals but couldn't remember 100%. Muskrats and beavers I do

know, I'd run across them when I was dry fly fishing at the park, and sometimes they would go after my lure. Of course, when that happened, I'd just cut the leader (a one- or two-pound test) and hope that the critter wouldn't get hurt, and let him/her go their merry way.

5. Nutria are invasive, destructive critters in the San Joaquin Valley
