There’s two! Oh! Come on. Woah! So cute! So thanks for having me out here, Terry. Can you tell us about your sanctuary?
- TERRY: Yeah, we’re a sanctuary for farm animals and wildlife.
- SAM: Okay.
- TERRY: And we’re in Poolesville, Maryland. We have 430 acres and we have about 250 animals here.
- SAM: 250? That’s a lot.
- TERRY: Yeah.
- SAM: So what are we grabbing over here?
- TERRY: So we’re going to get some food for Priscilla.She likes…uh watermelon.
- SAM: Okay.
- TERRY: And she’s a little groundhog.
- SAM: She’s a little groundhog?

- SAM: That one right there?Oh my god. She’s so cute.Check her out her. Ooh, hi…

- TERRY: So Priscilla is four months old and she was born in
this groundhog hole underneath our shed.
She’s a totally wild groundhog,
but for some unknown reason she just became super-tame. - SAM: Really? TERRY: Yeah.
- SAM: She seems really big for a baby.
- TERRY: Yeah, she’s big but if you see her mother her,her mother her is like three times the size of her.
- SAM: That’s so crazy.
- TERRY: So she really is small for a groundhog.
- SAM: Where’d she go?
- TERRY: She went back in her hole. Priscilla?I’m gonna toss a peanut to get her to come. SAM: Alright, we’re trying carrots now. Come get it. Come on. It’s super yummy. Huh! There’s two! Come on. (groundhog sounds). Uh… Are you guys fighting over the carrot? Uh, oh…Come on. I don’t think you’re Priscilla. I think you’re the brother. Come on guys. Come on. Hi baby! This is super cool.
