While gardeners spend most of their time surrounded by nature, many of them would prefer earth's creatures to keep their distance from their precious crops. But avid gardener Jeff Permar, from Middletown, Delaware, in America, struck up an unlikely friendship with the groundhog who kept stealing his fruit and vegetables.
Jeff set up a motion detection camera in his garden after waking up to damaged crops time and time again - but he was shocked to learn that a groundhog was causing all the trouble. A spokesman from Chunk The Groundhog told The Mirror: "Back in 2019, gardener Jeff had crop damage. He did not know what it was. So he set up a motion detection camera. He was shocked to find out that it was a groundhog that popped up into the camera.
