GROUNDHOG DAY!!
Groundhog Day is a celebration of marmots, a group of
large squirrel-like animals that includes groundhogs, woodchucks and
ground squirrels. Even though marmots are found all over the world, from
Canada to Mexico and from Russia to India, these animals don’t seem to
get the attention they deserve.
Marmot Day festivities take many different forms. Marmot Day is an
official holiday in Alaska, and it typically involves a family dinner
where marmot jokes and anecdotes are shared.
