Return to Identifying a Mammal

Not sure what we saw.

I took a picture with my iPhone of a smaller mammal we just saw on our block that I can't identify. In looking at pictures it looks similar to a prairie dog. Is there some way I can email the picture to someone at the UofI Extension to get it identified?

Thank you.

It is a woodchuck. Is it causing any damage? Or you just wanted to know what it was? Nice photos!
