What in the rodent world is this thing?

He is eating my neighbor's garden. I live in this city, close to New York, and lots of rivers around.

His tail is shorter than beavers. And i know it's not a giant rat.



Woodchuck (Marmota monax) ?

Maybe looks a bit small, but perhaps a juvenile.

also known as a "groundhog" amongst other things.

After he ate, he sat on the ladder yawning and stretching

I dunno. It could be a groundhog like Punxsutawney Phil. You can buy a small trap at Home Depot or Lowes. One or both of those stores will have it.
