Fun Facts:

Groundhogs, or woodchucks, are found in the Northeastern U.S. and most forested parts of Canada.
Woodchucks live alone in burrows with several rooms. They feed during the day on grass, leaves, and flowers.
When groundhogs hibernate, their breathing slows from 260 to 14 breaths a minute. Their body temperature drops to 50 degrees.
German settlers started the Groundhog Day tradition in the U.S. If a grounhog in Punxsutauney, Pennsylvania sees its shadow on February 2nd, winter is supposed to last another six weeks.
