🐿️Groundhog
La Marmotte du Canada ou Monax (Marmota monax) est l'espèce de marmottes la plus répandue en Amérique du Nord. Elle est communément surnommée siffleux à cause de son cri, ou parfois bonhomme couèche en français acadien. Son nom en anglais est groundhog, littéralement « cochon de terre », car les marmottes sont toujours occupées à fouir le sol. On la désigne aussi couramment en anglais sous le nom de woodchuck, une déformation de l'algonquien wuchak. C'est la plus solitaire des marmottes.
