a woodchuck is actually a groundhog.

The etymology of the name woodchuck is unrelated to wood or chucking. It stems from an Algonquian name for the animal (possibly Narragansett), wuchak. The apparent relationship between the two words has led to the common tongue twister: "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? — A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could if a woodchuck could chuck wood". Various response lines can answer this, including:

"As much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood."[8]
"A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood."[9]
"A woodchuck would chuck all the wood, if a woodchuck only could."[10]
Groundhogs are sometimes eaten for food.[11]
