Description
This melanistic groundhog spent some time playing peekaboo with us on the side of the road in Rocky View County, Alberta. It was nibbling on grass and then would hide, pop back up, stare at us and nibble so more. We weren't sure what we were seeing due to the black fur, but what a find!
