Groundhog Day is at what location?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What is the difference between a gopher and chipmunk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Gopher" is an umbrella term that applies to various kinds of burrowing rodents, due to their similarities and scientific classification. They include pocket gophers, ground squirrels, chipmunks and a variety of prairie dogs. All are commonly referred to as gophers. Chipmunks have distinctive black and white stripes that run down the back of their brown bodies. Pocket gophers are brown with no stripes. Ground squirrels are light beige in color. Prairie dogs are much bigger than any of these rodents and come in many varieties.

How do animals eat in the wild?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Domesticated dogs and cats depend on humans for their food. Cats are more in touch with their wild nature and can hunt birds and small mammals. Many breeds of dogs are not suited for hunting. Dogs would likely seek human habitations and look for garbage to eat.

People sometimes abandon pet dogs or cats on the street or in a wooded area, thinking that the animal can do better fending for itself than possibly facing euthanasia at an animal shelter. This is a mistaken idea, as most such animals suffer and starve. At the shelter the animal will be fed and there is the chance someone will adopt it.

How long is winter to a groundhog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Winter is just as long to a groundhog as to us, but supposedly, groundhogs can predict the season changes.

According to the legend, if the groundhog on leaving its burrow does not see his shadow, it will leave the burrow , which it means that winter will soon end. If, however, it "sees his shadow" and is frightened, it will go back into the Burrow, meaning that winter will last six more weeks.
