The classic tongue twister goes: "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Fun answer:

According to a playful study by wildlife expert Richard Thomas, a woodchuck (also known as a groundhog) could chuck approximately 700 pounds of wood if it were able to chuck wood. This estimate was based on the amount of dirt a woodchuck moves when digging its burrow.

More seriously:

Woodchucks don't actually chuck wood—they dig soil. So, the question is more of a fun linguistic challenge than a biological fact. If you want, I can help you with more tongue twisters or fun facts about woodchucks!
