In a lot of the country they are known as goundhogs. Same thing, just the local name for them.
IMO, the only good groundhog is a dead groundhog. They can do an unbelievable amount of damage. Horses and cows break kegs when they step in a groundhog hole, and they can do a LOT of damage to buildings and farm equipment.
A nice pole barn on a property behind mine had dump truck load sized piles of dirt just outside the walls that the critters had dug out from under the concrete floor. It was about to the point of collapsing the floor.
A friend broke the frame on his tractor when it ran into an unseen hole in a field he was brush hogging.
I equally despise racoons because of their insistence on climbing up on anything stored in a shed or barn to take a dump. A royal mess to clean up, and hazardous to your health as well.
