Photo: Woodchuck Labrador

A cute little woodchuck is very aware of his surroundings as he makes his way across the grass at the Point Amour Lighthouse in Southern Labrador, Canada.

A woodchuck keeps one eye on us as we snap some pictures of this cute little animal at Point Amour Lighthouse in the Strait of Belle Isle in Southern Labrador, Canada. This furry little creature is native to Labrador and loves to venture to the dry woods, pastures, fields and clearings.

The thick fur coat of the woodchuck is made up of two layers where it is very woolly along the back and the sides of its body. A gray coloring is seen on the back of the head and neck area with the rest of its body being brown or black.

The neck of a woodchuck is barely visible as it is extremely short and their little rounded ears perk up at the slightest noise. The underside of a woodchuck has a brownish yellow tinge to it and this is where you will find its small put powerful legs. Their tails are fairly short but very bushy and are usually brown or black in colour.

All this put together, makes for one adorable little woodchuck and the landscape around Point Amour Lighthouse in Southern Labrador, Canada is where a woodchuck likes to reside. ... continue below the picture...

Occasionally they will munch on some fruit or vegetables, insects or young birds if they nest close to the ground.
