Why did the groundhog become an online celebrity?

Groundhogs are timid and always on their guard. A little trouble will make them run away in a hurry. Therefore, it is not easy for us humans to get in touch with them, let alone become friends?

There is an eight-year-old boy, the "groundhog whisperer", and a whole group of groundhogs have been good friends for several years!

▲ The little boy and the timid groundhog have normal communication.

The little boy's name is Matteo. Every time he comes here, the groundhog will pounce on him.

The little boy has been visiting their group since he was three years old. Just like the dog whisperer, this little boy has a special talent. He can communicate with timid groundhogs and even grind his nose with them and let them climb his legs.

▲ Little boys communicate with them by imitating their movements.

"When we first arrived, four groundhogs jumped on him and made him fall, but he laughed happily." The little boy's mother said.

Although many prairie dogs also ask tourists for cookies and chocolates, they still keep their distance. Only Matteo can communicate with them.

▲ "If you like animals, even wild animals, they will be close to you." Mom said.

This single mother is also an amateur photographer. She firmly believes that "people must know about animals in order to take pictures without disturbing them." 」

When she filmed her son interacting with the groundhog, she said, "I want to show the harmony between the little boy and the animals. 」
