CHUNK is the Boss

Chunk...is the boss

Thieving groundhog 'Chunk' taunts filmmaker farmer in up-close footage: 'So much swagger':





A hungry, hungry groundhog has been caught on camera chowing down in a Delaware man’s garden — and he’s turned it into a viral YouTube series.

Jeff Permar began recording footage of the curious garden muncher, named Chunk, nibbling on tomatoes, carrots and other vegetables back in 2019, racking up thousands of views and, now, more than 133,000 subscribers.

Permar, 49, installed motion-activated cameras to catch the furry culprit who had been raiding his garden, only to find Chunk — aptly named due to taking literal chunks out of Permar’s produce — feasting on the carefully cultivated spread of veg.

“I was upset at first so I set up a motion detection camera,” the avid gardener of more than 20 years told The Post.

“Then while I was at work I got a notification on my phone and out pops up this groundhog and it was the cutest thing ever, staring into the camera, through your soul with so much swagger,” explained Permar, who was amazed by the garden squatter.

Now, he has 10 cameras around his property to film the cute critter who has “earned his right to enjoy all the veggies he wants,” Permar wrote on YouTube…

…Now, Permar is no longer a gardener providing for his family and friends — he’s become “a coexisting caretaker of a groundhog.”

Within the first year, Chunk wooed a lady groundhog, now named Nibbles, and made them parents to some “baby Chunks,” who make guest appearances in Permar’s footage.

Now, the happy, furry family are proudly known as “The Chunks,” complete with a placard above their makeshift picnic table on Permar’s lawn and their very own garden…

…He never expected Chunk’s fame to soar like it has…

…“I think people enjoy it because it makes them feel good and makes them laugh,” he said.

I guess the monetization he gets from Eww Toob, is worth more than the veggies he lost.

It's almost like these little critters know what a camera is.
