What is eating this Honda Accord .

I've seen chewed wires a million times, but never seen anything try to eat a frame rail, gas tank, or filler neck. He lives near a lake, and a few streams, so I am thinking beaver ?
Teeth marks are pretty large, and looks to have scored the metal .

Those look kinda like claw marks to me, at least on the gas tank. First thought are trash pandas or maybe beavers.

Yep southwestern Pa. Some say a groundhog can chew like this. I've been under a lot of cars/trucks, and equipment in my life, and never seen anything go after a frame rail . They only chewed where there was undercoating.

It's not a beaver. The teeth and claws are too narrow. It's probably a raccoon. You can see both tooth and claw marks.

Not sure if they are that far south, but up here porcupines will chew anything plastic or salty.

Porcupine.

I see teeth marks like that all the time in PA.

I hate those things. Fishers (marmots) eat them.

It looks like he has just been plain old curb surfing. Do you know if he drinks a lot?
