Photo: Southern Labrador Coastline Resting Groundhog
Along the Southern Labrador coastline in L'Anse Amour, a groundhog resting atop the hill overlooks the beautiful blue colors of the Strait of Belle Isle.
An animal Native to Southern Labrador is the groundhog (marmot or woodchuck), where they can be seen roaming the dry woods, pastures and fields. This groundhog resting atop a hill in the field along the coastline of the Strait of Belle Isle in L'Anse Amour, has stopped for a short period of time.
A groundhog has very short, powerful legs and a bulky looking body which grows to be between 18 and 26 inches long. Its bushy tail is approximately 1/4 the length of its body with the rest of him being covered in a thick reddish brown and yellow colored fur with a white frosted topping at the ends of coat. With slightly flattened black feet, a groundhog is an exceptional digger which comes in extremely handy when building a den.
