Hi! I’m George the Groundhog!! I’m
here to tell you some facts about
groundhogs! So, sit back, relax, and
listen carefully!
groundhog

squirrel

I am a rodent.
Scientists say that I
am related to the
squirrel!
I love to eat lots of
green leaves, fruits
and vegetables. I
don’t drink much
water, though. Most
of my water comes
from the leaves I
eat.
I love to whistle! Can
you whistle? I
whistle when I am
scared or when I am
looking for a new
girlfriend!
Some people may call
me a woodchuck, but
I don’t eat wood! Do
you remember what I
like to eat?
A baby groundhog is
called a kit or a cub.
Aren’t they cute?!
In the winter, I like
to go to sleep in my
burrow. I sleep very
deeply. This is called
hibernation. I know
when it’s time to
wake up when the
sun is out longer.
Can you believe I
have a whole day
dedicated to me?! Do
you know what that
day is called?
This day is big for all
of us, but my friend
Phil has a BIG job!
He lets the world
know if you’ll have 6
more weeks of
winter!
If Phil sees his
shadow, then we’ll
have 6 more weeks
of winter. But, if it’s
cloudy and there is
no shadow, then
spring is on the way!
So, on February 2nd,
make sure you think
of me and all of my
friends! What is
YOUR prediction for
Groundhog’s day this
year? Shadow or no-
shadow?!
