How much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck... if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Asked by Kword at 5:05 PM on Jul. 9, 2011 in Parenting Debate
Level 27 (29,610 Credits)-
"About 700 pounds. Compared to beavers, groundhogs/woodchucks are not adept at moving timber, although some will chew wood. (At Cornell, woodchucks that gnaw their wooden nest boxes are given scraps of 2-by-4 lumber.) A wildlife biologist once measured the inside volume of a typical woodchuck burrow and estimated that -- if wood filled the hole instead of dirt -- the industrious animal would have chucked about 700 pounds' worth."

It depends....are their taxes to be paid on the wood? What about government regulations on how much wood can be consumed in a given period of time?

The woodchuck would live on a non-governed island free from any and all wood tax, but the beavers on that island only allow the woodchuck to barter 4 rick of wood per woodchuck family per day.

DragonRiderMD, good point, however you have not taken into account the beaver's Totalitarian hold over the woodchuck community.
