So I'm born and raised in NYC about 8 years ago my wife in I bought a home in suburban Connecticut with lots of wooded areas around our home. We've seen the normal animals in the neighborhood, deer, racoon, and an occasional skunk. Few weeks ago we noticed this animal in our yard eating grass. Today I saw it under a neighbors front steps and recorded a video but only captured the animals face. I bought a cage to trap it and relocate it a few miles from our home because my wife now refuses to go into the backyard. Any info would be appreciated. My apologies for the long post
Not fish related, but needs some help

It is a ground hog, also called a woodchuck. They like to burrow under structures and create tunnels with multiple exits.
They are also vegetarian and can climb trees on the occasion.
Check with your local authority on the legality of relocating them. Here in Ohio we have a lot of them and in rural areas, we can shoot them especially if they cause property damage.

Hey,I live in Philadelphia and a fair distance away from any parks or wooded areas but there are groundhogs living in some of the backyards around here...most people around here aren't even aware that they live among them,they get a little bold and wander around in the early morning while it's still quiet and peaceful
From Philly too. We have a female one who lives under our garden shed. Has been around for at least five years, possibly longer. We have seen two smaller ones, probably offspring. They do make tunnels on earthen walls, but they have not done any damage to structures or property. We love them. They come out often to eat fallen bird food on the ground, and they do prowl around despite there being a number of feral cats about (certainly not ours as they are indoors, but ours do watch birds, squirrels and groundhog through the kitchen window). I feel fortunate that these little creatures can find suitable habitat in our urban dwelling.
Agreed,I enjoy watching them early in the morning while I'm sitting on my porch.I remember when I first spotted one a few years ago....it appeared from underneath some bushes across the street and the little bugger came all the way across the street and went up onto a neighbor's front porch.
Thanks for the replies. Doing my research now, my wife ready to sell the whole house lol
