3. Is hedgehog the same as groundhog?

My local groundhog burrows under a sand mound septic system, and he is far ruddier - copper color fur almost Harryesque - and I think it's because of his diet from the roots around the mound, which are laced with copper from the additives in the septic to clear the roots. He's not spotted like the ones in that photo. Maybe a different species? Or same species but continental divide.

10. The hedgehog and groundhog are completely different critters. Hedgehogs

are found in Europe, not the Americas, while here in the states we have lots of
groundhogs.
