A true Eskimo Kiss or Inuit Kiss is not really Nose to Nose (nose Kiss) but nose to cheek or forehead and breathing in - Here the Groundhogs do it perfectly one after the other - watch closely and enjoy. Partially a sign of affection, but also important for bonding and being in touch with each other. Male and female Groundhogs (Woodchucks) pair up and mate in Spring and this cute couple was spotted deep in the high Smoky Mountain Forest. It is rare to get a private view into their lives - they do not see me - but sense something is out there and then relax and go about their hectic day. People typically see them in roadside fields and yards, but they like it just fine in the forest with a nearby meadow. In this case a storm blew down a stand of large trees creating an opening in the dense forest that was soon overtaken by grasses and the Groundhogs found a great secluded spot. Don't worry I wont tell about their secret hideout! BTW did you know that Groundhogs and Marmots are really the largest member of the squirrel family tree. No wonder I find them irresistible....
