The groundhog (Marmota monax) is a large rodent indigenous to North America, and its population is not restricted to a single city and state. If the question is really about a particular groundhog honored on Groundhog Day, which is a celebration held in the United States and Canada on February 2nd each year, then the groundhog in question is one known as "Punxsutawney Phil." He is thus named for the city where one of the largest celebrations of Groundhog Day takes place in the United Staes: Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. In Canada, the famed groundhog is "Wiarton Willie," so named for Wiarton, Ontario. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end.
Death and ensuing scandal The original Wiarton Willie lived to the advanced age of 22, and was found dead only two days before Groundhog Day in 1999. The organizers were unable to find a replacement, and instead marked Groundhog Day by revealing "Willie" in a coffin. He had been dressed in a tuxedo, had coins over his eyes, and a carrot between his paws. A scandal ensued when it transpired that the real Willie had in fact decomposed, and the body in the coffin was that of an older, stuffed groundhog. The Associated Press was obliged to issue a retraction on its wires
Yes, he did. According to at least three groundhogs in North America (Punxsutawney Phil, Shubenacadie Sam and Wiarton Willie) who all saw their shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter in 2010.
