The classic tongue twister goes: "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" While it's mostly a playful rhyme, a fun answer—based on a 1988 study by wildlife expert Richard Thomas—is that a woodchuck could chuck approximately 700 pounds of wood if it could chuck wood. Of course, woodchucks (groundhogs) don't actually chuck wood, but this estimate is based on the volume of dirt they move when digging burrows.
