Groundhogs are also known as the woodchuck. These rodents are part of the ground squirrels known as marmots. In alpaca, he's an adorable little critter carefully created by our expert needle felters in Arequipa, Peru. The groundhog is part of our wildlife collection, where vast species form the web of life from the Arctic to Africa. We seek to capture the true essence of each animal with special attention to shape, markings, color, and occasionally adding a bit of flare, like a top hat!
Due to the hand crafting process, each piece is original with slight variations.
