Woodchucks usually do other Woodchucks, however in the Western United States Woodchucks will mate with anything with a tail or a furry toes that it can sexually mount. It is not unusual to find Woodchucks mounting squirrels, chickens, goats, domesticated cats, kittens and ripe pumpkins.

A woodchuck is a groundhog, and is a rodent. Woodchucks do not chuck wood.

The idea of woodchucks chucking wood comes from this ages old tongue twister:

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?


He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
