How does a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Probably by tossing it's head and releasing the piece of wood mid-throw. In a rather clumsy way, I presume.

It dosn't. Thats just a catchy tounge twister someone made up long ago. Its a very popular one indeed.
A woodchuck is just another nickname given to the groundhog. Which are not known for chucking wood.

The whole question is probably just a joke.

An impressionist, perhaps.

Quite a long list actually:
Gibbon apes
wolves
termites
coyotes
barn owls
beavers
bald eagles
golden eagles
condors
swans
brolga cranes
French angel fish
sandhill cranes
pigeons
prions
red-tailed hawks
anglerfish
ospreys
prairie voles
black vultures
Some of them I did look up. It seems a lot of birds mate for life, and also wolves [maybe some others too] don't necessarily follow the mate for life rule. If their mate dies they may take on another one.

yes that pretty much covers it. Sort of. except Bald Eagles do not fully mate for life. The female bald eagle will often times select a new mate if the current male is not what he appeared to be. I have seen this for myself on an eaglecam. One week one male was in but another male was in the area as well. The current male of the breeding pair appeard to have fled for sevrel days. The next male to appear in the nest was not the same one. The new male took over as the father of the offspring and mate of the female.

If someone raised a monkey from the start, would it learn to talk like us?

No. Parrots do not even speak human. There are only able to mimic other sounds. If someone said hello to a parrot over and over it could mimic it. Though it is not the same as speaking human on its own. Monkeys are known for being intelegent. However we can not communicate with them even if we raised one. Though if you did raise a monkey it would imprint on you and treat you as if you were its parent but thats about all.
