Groundhog's+Day


==** Groundhog Day ** is a holiday celebrated on February 2  in the United States   and   Canada. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a  groundhog   emerges from its burrow on this day then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. ==

== A Groundhog is also sometimes called a Woodchuck or a Whistle-pig. They are likely to be found in North America and are lowland creatures. Groundhogs are excellent burrowers, using burrows (or holes) for sleeping, rearing young, and  hibernating. ==
