To the casual observer they may look the same but they are different.. Woodchucks belong to a group of ground squirrels known as marmots. They prefer open ground on the edge of woodland. As for a beaver, beavers are water based

What large rodent looks like beaver but has a fluffy tail in Rocky Mount NC?

Well, we sent our photos to the NC Museum of Natural history, and they confirmed it was definitely a 'skinny' groundhog/woodchuck. I must assume that yours was the same thing given the description. It didn't really resemble the other photos on the web; mainly because of its tail. But, the experts confirmed it. Mystery solved!
