“A male groundhog has for years been nabbing vegetables from a man’s personal garden and munching them while staring deep into his surveillance cameras.
Videos of the groundhog, known as Chunk, have repeatedly gone viral, and show the critter nonchalantly chomping on Delaware resident Jeff Permar’s tomatoes, broccoli, corn, and other produce.
Cheeks flapping and jaw crunching at blinding speed, Chunk tends to gaze into Permar’s surveillance cameras while eating, as though “looking into your soul,” Permar, an IT professional, told Insider.”

What a fun episode.
Hilarious
Always plan a little something extra for the Wildlife that is how you properly Garden
Had to watch again! Too lovely 🥰
Lil rascal
Those garden veggies are too clean. The dude is setting up the groundhogs by leaving produce near the camera.
Omg! That’s totally my hubby eating! 😂 The man smacks while eating ice cream!😅😅
😂
Omg this is the cutest! Makes me want to do more for the rabbits who visit me. They comw for lettuce, limes, of course carrots, and more…. Too cute!
Adorable. My husband and I feed all the wild life that lives in our yard, but we do chase the visitors who may hurt our dogs (one is a pug) We had an unwanted visitor (opossum) who raided our compost for awhile but a neighbor humanly caught and re-homed him to state game land area with water and fields nearby.
There is no need to poison wildlife. It's cruel and dangerous to the innocent wildlife or pets. Cage type traps humanly catch wildlife that can then be re-homed to a paradise setting for it's species.
The veggies look a bit too clean to come directly out of the ground. The man probably puts some stuff directly in front of the camera to get these pictures.
Thank you. That was great
😂😂😂😂
Maybe it's just his way of saying thank you for the treats…. please plant another garden next year. I'll be your best customer!!
I’d build a garden just to get this freakin adorable groundhog
Why assume the groundhog understands our feelings about "Property"? What it does have share with us are the ideas of teratory and food resources. They don't understand how a camera works. Even if it does look a bit like an eye. However it will consider this taking something from YOUR teratory, So if you run out of the house souting at it, It WILL get the pont immediately. However it will still be back.
This is set up. This guy doesn’t have a garden with all this stuff in It you could see the vegetables are clearly prepped and washed.
He might see his reflection in the lens.
Cocky little ground hog, but cute as hell. I would be willing to plant a garden as well just for the critters around here.
So THAT'S where the star of Caddyshack went and retired!!!! Perfect where are they now segment!! 🦫
Either all of his veggies are planted right in front of the camera, or that's where he's placing them to get cute critter videos. My guess is the latter. I have a groundhog on my property. I make a habit of throwing some of the funky produce (split tomatoes, crooked cukes, etc.) toward the woods where he lives. It keeps us both happy.
Yes, it's fun to watch this little guy but if the critter was actually pulling up those veggies and choosing to eat in front of the camera, there would be dirt on them. Carrots come out of the ground dirty. That is grocery store produce being left in front of the camera to catch the video. There's not even a good reason to lie about it because the video would still be fun to watch with the true story. The fabricated story about the ground hog doing this on purpose isn't believable. Just say "we put produce in front of a camera and look what happened."
