Winner of the Lifetime Achievement award for Excellence in Gravitas, Woodchuck Chumley is considered the godfather of animal TV news broadcasters. Gallop polls show 95% of animals prefer to get their TV news from the woodchuck who's been at it longer than anyone else.

He began as a weather-woodchuck on a public-access broadcast out of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. With his natural sense of poise, an orator’s gift for language, and one good suit, he quickly graduated to reporter and then anchor. Career highlights include his on-air exposé of Russian moles in government, his controversial report about bald eagles and their “mile-high club,” and his emotional broadcast after his brother was eaten by a komodo dragon.

He is currently the star anchor of the all-animal cable news network GRR. (If your cable company does not carry GRR, you can get a taste of it in the upcoming videogame Hail to the Chimp - see http://www.chimplove.com for more info.) His autobiography, I, Woodchuck Chumley, will be published early next year.
