	CT DEP: Woodchuck Fact Sheet
		Woodchucks rely on their keen hearing and sense of smell to give them enough time to escape to their dens when danger is near.
		Although woodchucks are primarily terrestrial, they can climb trees up to 15 feet or more to escape an enemy and to even feed on the berries and leaves of some trees such as red mulberry and hackberry; they also take to the water and are good swimmers.
		Woodchucks have also been known to climb over fences, in which case a one-foot extension that is bent outward at a 90-degree angle should be added to the top of the fence.
