A repetition of groundhogs: Thwarted

Taken yesterday: This few-month-old groundhog tried unsuccessfully to get into my neighbor's garden. At one point, it climbed about a third of the way up the fence. It was actually trying to scale the six-foot high obstacle to its dining delight, but gave up in favor of eating whatever leaves it could reach through the links. The reason why it could not tunnel under the fence is because my neighbors took care to bury fence wire horizontally a few inches underground along the perimeter.
