This woodchuck groundhog built its home a few meters away from Billings Bridge Mall, corner of busy Bank and Riverside streets. Generally herbivorous, groundhogs subsist primarily on wild grasses and other vegetation, supplementing their diet with berries. Partially omnivorous, groundhogs will also eat grubs, grasshoppers, insects, snails and other small animals. Groundhogs are excellent burrowers, using underground burrows for sleeping, rearing young, and hibernating. In Ottawa, it's common to see such wild animals such as hares and squirrels on neighbourhood lawns and parks. This groundhog came out of its domain to watch people stroll by, and then continued to munch its vegetarian brunch.
