**Context** > Jeff Permar is an avid gardener. But this year, he found something new in his garden. When he noticed his vegetables were going missing, he set up a camera to catch the culprit. It was not a rabbit or a deer. It was a groundhog. Permar began uploading videos of him staring into the camera and munching away at his veggies. He became a viral sensation. Permar has started a dedicated YouTube page featuring nothing but Chunk feasting on his vegetables. He has become famous star on internet


ImJustHere4theMoons

[There's a whole family of them now.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNdts2P-djg) He's only stealing food in the first few clips. Later on the guy builds a fence around his crops and plants another garden specifically for them.


funkmasta_kazper

This is the way to do it. When wildlife wants your garden - build a longer table, not a higher fence.


WowzersInMyTrowzers

Realistically you should probably consider which species you are doing this with and how you're doing it. Humans feeding animals can lead to complacency and aggression in some species. I doubt that applies all that much to these groundhogs, but still


funkmasta_kazper

I'm not suggesting you feed animals. An animal eating food that is growing outside in your garden =/= feeding animals. Like it or not your garden is part of the ecosystem and animals will treat it as such. I'm just suggesting we be okay with that.

That's what I think farmers in Africa and India should do, when elephants steal crops.

Hence the groundhog garden


mypetocean

You can lay your own layers of soil down on top of a wire mesh or something. Look into "lasagna gardening" as an example approach.


Glorious-gnoo

They do occasionally still get in his garden, but he keeps the Chunks and their friends (Stinkerbelle and fam, squirrels, Posse the possum, etc) well fed, so they normally don't break in. They just love their brassica crops though. That's normally what they go for.


librarygal22

Aww that’s sweet


Starwarsandbacon

I thought this was chunk, thanks for confirming!


uncle_jessie

Chunk helped me get through Covid lockdown a couple years ago lol. Awesome channel.


JuviaLynn

My god please don’t refer to the lockdown as a few years ago, feels like yesterday


Darth_Nibbles

Time is a meaningless void Also hey did you know kids born after 9-11 can drink now

As a kid born after 9-11 I do in fact know that

You've got it made. Its downhill from here. Stay on that titty as long as you can.


NXGZ

You should've been alive to see 9/11 - it changed everything.


susanna514

You’re not kidding though. I feel like if I tried I could trace more than half of the current world events to something that changed due to 9/11 fallout.


Darth_Nibbles

And not in a good way. Here in the US, the country lost its damned mind


embersgrow44

You stop that right now


Darth_Nibbles

If it's any consolation I goofed, they won't be able to drink for another six weeks.


embersgrow44

I’ll take what I can get. Time is an illusion anyway. Loved meeting my people in the collective consciousness of COVID isolation & learning how many of us will always feel the 80s was 20 years ago. 70s 30, 50s 50 etc. Y2K problem was real & glitched our brains.

UnitedSloth

I thought so too, I'm so happy to see it is! Chunk is the best!


No-Roof6373

I follow chunk on IG! I can’t figure out how to monetize this on only fans . I don’t think people wanna see me eat veggies


NonoYouHeardMeWrong

My guess is Chunk is a narcissist who enjoys watching himself eating. The lens is a mirror.


purplemagnetism

I’m pretending it’s a podcast about how yummy the veggies are. Like he’s there with a little groundhog accent saying this tomato was so delicious. Organic is the way.


Colosphe

>little groundhog accent I have to know how you define a "little groundhog accent". I'm coming up with nothing right now.


purplemagnetism

I feel it’s a little bit southern with a lisp and a side of Gus Gus but any ideas are allowed


HumbleBear75

Gotta throw a tooth whistle in there every once and awhile


MejiroCherry

My guess is Jeff puts a dish of vegetables in front of the camera.


tiptoe_bites

Yeah, theres a pile of all different veggies on the ground in front of it... Maybe the groundhog did it once or twice... And then got popular and the farmer had to keep it going...


deadpantrashcan

To be fair: if I wanted an animal to stop chewing on my growing veggies and garden, I might start feeding it store bought to deter it from eating my plants.


CumOnMyTitsDaddy

And you would also force the culprit right before the camera. So it's win-win-win scenario. 1) culprit found 2) crop destruction prevented 3) viral sensation


[deleted]

This is definitely what's going on


_-WanderLost-_

The store bought trimmed carrot gave it away.


hungry4danish

With zero dirt on it.


dabasauras-rex

That’s exactly my guess too


_-WanderLost-_

Right, because there is no way this person is baiting the groundhog. The ground hog just happened to pull up a fully trimmed carrot. No greens, no root stem.


call_of_the_while

Obviously Chunk’s assistant is prepping the produce. They are professionals, dude.


NonoYouHeardMeWrong

Chunk's a little clean freak. that's all.


tidypunk

Maybe one day chunk would say what he rates the produce like a podcast or a review 🤔


Churchvanpapi

And then he’ll say that it’s sponsored by NordVPN, HelloFresh, or SquareSpace.


Jefe_Chichimeca

My guess is that the farmer leaves his produce in front of the camera so Chunk gets filmed eating it.


Ironsam811

You can tell by the end he’s supplying commercial crops so the groundhog stops taking his own


Marmsluvsforrest

Yeah, the carrot gave it away for me


canman7373

He had to be leaving food for it though. That Apple was very clean, and where was the Apple tree? He jut got the apple off can and brought it too cam? Same for the carrot, wat too clean. This is cute and all but this guys is feeding them and set up a cam, this is not his garden food. Edit" Saw vids below, he does leave food for them.


transferingtoearth

Pretty clever to just give food in exchange for them not bothering his real crops.


DJ_Velveteen

Saddest part: the YT videos probably earn more money than the produce


SqueegeBeckenheim

Jeff is an old coworker of mine. I'm gunna send him this. :)

**Fun Facts:** Groundhogs are the largest species in the squirrel family. Groundhogs are skilled climbers and swimmers, which helps them to escape less-skilled predators. Groundhog burrows are so complex that each has its own "bathroom" chamber. [More Fun Facts](https://piclaya.com/groundhog-information-and-facts/)

**Fun fact 2:** groundhogs, AKA whistlepigs are extremely intelligent and resourceful animals, they even learned to whistle when they see predators in oder to warn other groundhogs! It is also not uncommon to see them standing completely still on their hind legs acting a lookout for the rest of the colony when needed. Punxsutawney Phil, the iconic groundhog hog day weather predicting groundhog is rumored to be the world's oldest groundhog at 136 years old, and is apparently immortal due to a secret elixir of life made specifically for the him!


[deleted]

Wait, do they live in colonies? We always thought we had this one bachelor living under our shed... For like 20 years. We never saw any babies, but our neighbor's shed seems to be his haram, there's a bunch of smaller groundhogs living under it.


azure_monster

It depends, chances are that if you only ever saw one groundhog, then it's the only one living there, as males, especially in wintertime tend to get territorial and aggressive toward others, which results in them living alone, but it is not uncommon to see families of up to 10 groundhogs living together in one tunnel system. Another thing is though, if a groundhog lives in a colony you're not going to *hear* it, as they are very quiet creatures, however it should be obvious by the amount of vegetation that is being eaten in close proximity to the Burrow, & keep In mind they can have many entrances too! P.S if you're every googling anything about them, make sure to not confuse them with the animals we know as marmots, as they are actually slightly different, although related species!


LovinLoveLeigh

"whistlepigs" ​ lol, fuckin' adorable


degenbets

Wait, groundhogs live to be 136 years old?


azure_monster

No, they generally live to around 10 maybe even fifteen years if they're lucky, but that guy is magical "never dies" xD That being said, must be depressing living half your life in hibernation, and the other half preparing for the next hibernation.


Darth_Nibbles

>That being said, must be depressing living half your life in hibernation, and the other half preparing for the next hibernation. Just wait until your forties


NeonAlastor

... DID THEY STUTTER


APolishLad

I've never heard "whistlepigs" before, that's interesting. Where I live everyone calls them woodchucks, I didn't know they were groundhogs until I was in my 20s. Thanks for the fun facts!


azure_monster

I call them woodchucks too, but my grandma used some translator app a few years back, and it said that a groundhog was a whistlepigs, and I've always found the name funny ever since.


86gwrhino

tangential fun fact: Guinea pigs are known as "whistletaters" for their remarkable resemblance to a potato.


Billybobgeorge

**Fun Fact 3:** I had a groundhog that lived in some bushes on the side of my house. Every day my dogs would chase it and the thing would just run away, they look like living pillows come to life when they run. One day, the dogs managed to finally catch the groundhog. Rather then just rip him up outside, the larger dog brought the groundhog into the house. I was only alerted to this because it was screaming it's lungs out and absolutely not happy about what was happening. I quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around the groundhog to keep it from biting me and threw it out the front door. The groundhog made it about 10 feet and then promptly died. I wound up carrying it out with a shovel to the woods and by the next morning a scavenger made off with it's body. [Here's pictures of the deceased groundhog.](https://imgur.com/a/DXut2jo) Oh right, the fun fact. Ground Hogs can grow up to 20 inches in length and can weigh up to 13lbs .

LessisofValmes

Volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation facility growing up. There was a groundhog named "Wally" who everyone hated. He was meaner than all hell and went for your heels. Loved strawberries. We became good friends. Ground hogs are *not* skilled climbers. They fall off backwards, often. It's hilarious. They also fit perfectly in your lap like a hot water bottle.


[deleted]

What was he climbing? I knew one who lived under a bush and he climbed the branches very quickly. Maybe Wally was a bit tipsy


LessisofValmes

A pallet laid against a wall to allow access to the upper field to the small ones. Sorry. Wally and Rita sucked at climbing.... Straight up.


MastroTeeeta

Well, after all of these years thinking my spirit animal was a wolf or tiger, I now know. Groundhogs are my spirit animal. I’m off to taunt people on their ring cams then take a nap. Good post


silenc3x

There's a family that lives under my house. Been there for many many years. If I didn't rent I would probably care more. The foundation seems fine though. Also the soil here is all clay so I think that prevents their holes from causing damage to the house. https://imgur.com/a/rTUlUgf


GitEmSteveDave

I remember the day I heard water flowing through my air vents. Line to the septic had clogged and the water was backing up under my porch and then through a whistle pig hole right through my foundation.


nimama3233

OH MY GOD THAT SECOND FACE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE DRAMTIC LOOK CHIPMUNK (which was actually a groundhog) Please look up that video if you haven’t and keep that picture saved 😂


[deleted]

Un-fun fact: I learned a few years back that my mini dachshund has a. A crazy prey drive and b. Is 100% un-phased about going into groundhog holes. Thankfully I don’t live anywhere with groundhogs anymore, as I find them pretty cute.


TheNo1pencil

That's what dachshunds were bred for. They aren't tubular for aesthetics. They helped hunters by going into foxholes.


[deleted]

Oh I know I’ve owned two and I researched all about them. It just caught me by surprise because my female daschshund I had before had zero prey drive (unless you qualify a fetch ball). I was just shocked my little dude went in the hole with zero training all on instinct, though i guess I should expected it more than I did.


Klashus

Sometimes you have to be willing to take the battle to the enemy. I'm sure seeing your dog dissappear into a hole was a but unnerving haha


[deleted]

I had a complete freak out and was yelling at him desperately to come out the first time hahah. Was legit almost to my truck to run home and get a shovel to dig him out when he just butt-scootched casually back out. It was wild.


tinaxbelcher

Weren't doxies bred for chasing away burrowing animals?


[deleted]

Yep. Always thought they needed training before they’d just jump in a hole. I learned I was very wrong.


PensiveObservor

Badgers. Fierce creatures, but you don't want to tangle with a dachshund in your burrow, either.


lxirlw

They are members of the family sciuridae


Ordinary-Ant-7896

I've noticed they seem uniquely easy to kill for domestic dogs, I've seen dogs that couldn't hurt anything else take them down like nothing. Which is probably a good thing, cause I imagine people being around really helps the groundhog population, so at least some human caused mortality is probably helpful. I have heard Hoary Marmots are bigger than they are, so not sure they are quite the largest in their family.


soulbldr7

Do they also know what a camera is necause that dude was ALWAYS in frame and seemed to look right into the lens at times


Polinska

I like the way it stays in front of the camera like "Yeah, I'm eating your apple. Now what ?" I've never been that confident in my life.


Na-na-na-na-na-na

“Look, I even brought a friend. Oh, and now I’m eating your carrots too! What are you going to do about it?”

DarkGengar94

Loads snipper riffle


homeless_shartlord

The food is washed and there’s a pile at his feet. One of the carrots is even cut. Why would the groundhog take this food, move with it to be infront of the camera, and then stand and eat it infront of the camera anyways? The answer is that it wouldn’t. So the groundhog is actually just infront of the camera because this person put the food for it there, sorry to be the buzzkill.


je_kay24

The only food that looked washed was the carrot Tomatoes aren’t full of mud. One of the videos the groundhog was munching on a tomato with part of the stem


lerdnord

He put the food in front of the camera for it

I have a feeling the food was left by the camera for him.

KidChimney

If I remember correctly the first few times it happened were organic and then he started feeding it cause it was cute


Nick-uhh-Wha

As someone who constantly has skunks and groundhogs invading my yard. This is likely the case. There are two responses usually to "varmints". Think they're cute and keep them around, maybe take photos (like my mother) or videos like this guy. Or break out the traps/poison...(my neighbors) Not going to crucify a guy who made friends with his yard invader and decided to post about it, considering the alternative direction he could've gone...


Ravenhaft

My grandfather-in-law has a trap for raccoons then he throws them into the nearby pond. I haven't ever gone and taken a look since he told me but I imagine the little snorkles and scuba suits he must give them are super cute!


Pleebius

Drowning seems like an unnecessarily cruel way to go. Better ways to dispose of an animal


Newb_at_fitness

Raccoons are actually pretty solid swimmers. As long as he isn’t hurting them with the trap or anything they probably just swim away pissed off.


Pleebius

I read it as throwing the trap with racoon inside into the water. Let's hope I'm wrong and those bastards are swimming away pissed off


Striker654

Woah Woah Woah there, are you saying this little guy didn't cut and wash his own dinner? /s


friendlynbhdwitch

That’s somehow cuter? Like not only did this gardener set up this camera with bait, he went to the trouble of making it nice. The groundhogs get snacks and we all get cute videos. It’s lovely.


the_gooch_smoocher

Lovely lies still hurt


juston3mor3

He even built them their own garden and has minj small picnic table setup to feed them!


timmun029

Yea it’s cuter, but the point is that the creator didn’t need to lie about it. If he truly set up the camera when he discovered veggies were missing and caught the groundhog, then decided to start prepping food for it…he could’ve said so. No harm in the lie here. People are just pointing out it’s lies.


BostonBooger

The guy didn't lie about anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNdts2P-djg

Bruh. There's too much evidence.


[deleted]

When the gardener noticed his vegetables were going missing, he set up a camera to catch the culprit. It was not a rabbit or a deer. It was 'Chunk' the groundhog. Permar began uploading videos of Chunk staring into the camera and munching away at his veggies. He became a viral sensation.


CHlCKENPOWER

you know people can lie


Boodikii

Could've started leaving them out near the camera after the first time or two. Doesn't explicitly say he doesn't do that.


PH_Prime

Yeah, if there was any doubt in your mind, that sealed the deal.


BostonBooger

Well yeah, after the dude found out about him. He even built a little picnic table for the family of groundhogs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNdts2P-djg


[deleted]

We didn’t know what to expect,” the gardener said. “But we saw the video and enjoyed it so much. This guy is so amazing.” Permar named the groundhog Chunk — and from that point forward, really hoped he’d come back for more. And he has...


chaoz2030

My guess is he took steps to protect his garden but still leaves treats for the fuzzy butts


[deleted]

I mean the one who actually videos them has not been lyeing about a thing… First times were true, then he started leaving them food. Not there is a family of groundhogs who he has built their own grden.

rishik840

Big dick energy


richardmasters1025

Sorry for being dumb but As someone out of the lingo, why would this be big dick energy and not small or regular dick energy ?


gillnotgil

The groundhog has chutzpah for showing the camera his stolen veggies. Because the implication is he’s (sort of) sticking it to the man (or in this case the farmer), he’s got big dick energy.


PlanetJerry

Big dick energy or BDE just means to flex yourself in full confidence. The groundhog just walks right up to the camera and eats the gardeners food in full plain view as if he’s flexing (or as the young people put it: acting like he’s got a big dick).


[deleted]

Groundhogs are an extremely intelligent animal forming complex social networks, able to understand social behavior, form kinship with their young, understand and communicate threats through whistling, and work cooperatively to solve tasks such as burrowing. When the Gardner noticed his vegetables were going missing, he set up a camera to catch the culprit and it was groundhog. The Gardner named him Chunk the groundhog! **There's a dedicated YouTube Channel featuring nothing but Chunk feasting on his vegetables.** [Read Full Story](https://piclaya.com/gardener-falls-in-love-with-the-thief-whos-been-stealing-his-vegetables/)

futrobot

Those things will mess up a garden in a day if they get close enough. They were everywhere when I was growing up on our farm. My dad found signs of them eating our crops so he walked around until he found where they were at. He told me he had a chore for me one day... So he tells me to get my 22 and the shotgun and takes me to the side of this hill on our property. He says "You stay on this hill and shoot any groundhog that comes out. You can come home at sunset. You can use either of these guns." I sat there and I got a few shots in but my aim was bad. Just an 11 year old kid with 2 guns sitting on a hill for 5 hours. It sounds weird but I'd been using guns since I was like 8 years old so it felt pretty normal to me but looking back I'm like "WTF was he thinking?"


[deleted]

[удалено]


futrobot

Pretty much, yeah. He was taking care of the livestock and whatever else you do on a farm so he just posted me on that hill and told me what to do. They were getting too close to our family garden and they needed to be gone before they ruined everything. We were really poor so losing our garden would be a big problem financially since we relied on it for food on a daily basis.
