Groundhog Day is celebrated on February 2nd in Canada and USA. Groundhogs are famous for predicting Spring. A groundhog is an animal, they are rodents and are the largest animal in the squirrel family.

They are omnivores meaning they eat meat and plants but they mostly eat plants (grasses, berries, vegetables, grasshoppers, insects and snails).

Groundhogs hibernate meaning they spend their winters sleeping. They hibernate from October to late March inside a burrow. They can live up to 6 years old.

GROUNDHOG DAY FACTS

According to legend if the groundhog comes out of their burrow on February 2nd then Spring will come early.

If the groundhog sees a shadow then it goes back into its burrow and Winter will last 6 more weeks.

The largest Groundhog Day Celebration is held in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania.

How often is the groundhog right with predicting Spring? Many people argue that answer. Some say he is between 75%-90% correct other say 35%.
