New information out regarding quantity of wood woodchucks capable of chucking.
Variants include size and age of each woodchuck, size of wood chucked, and prevailing weather conditions.
Also factored into equation: altitude, density (forest versus flat open space), fitness regimens, steroid use, specialized training, and variable of termite infestations.
Charting variants per capita, grouped by ages, best guess is a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as comparably-sized woodchucking mammals.
Now you know...
Chow for now!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
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.
Really google has an answer for everything.
So THAT'S what that search box is on the internet toolbar!!
Who knew?????
PS - how buffed are THOSE woodchucks???
