I know this is lovely tongue twister, but need to translate seriously.

How many pounds in a groundhog's mound //

1) Does mound mean mountain of earth and sand?

if a groundhog pounds hog mounds?

2) Does this mean groundhog hitting herd of pigs...?

1- a mound is much much smaller than a mountain but yes, that is what it means.
2- the groundhog would be hitting small dips in the earth not actual herds of pigs though that would be funny 😉

1) Yes, "How many pounds in a groundhog's mound" is reffering to the pound of earth and sand the groundhog makes.
2) "if a groundhog pounds hog mounds?" means if a groundhog "pounded" (hit or made) hog mounds, which are the deep tracks and ruts feral hogs make when they tear through your yard.
Also, this is my interpretation, so it could be wrong. :)

(Honestly I think this was made up by Apple. I’ve never heard this tongue twister except when I ask Siri “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?” Maybe others have heard it, but I have not.)
