The girls managed to stir up quite a bit of enthusiasm for groundhog day, a holiday they never knew existed. Actually I'm not sure they even knew groundhogs existed, but now thanks to their curiosity we know the answers to all the burning groundhog questions like:
Are there any in our backyard?: No (though we didn't find any groundhogs, we did see our shadows)
Do groundhogs lay eggs or have babies?: have babies
Do groundhogs have teeth like beavers? Yes, though not quite as big
What kind of noise does a groundhog make? He grunts, squeals when attacks, and grinds his teeth
What are a groundhog's predators?: dogs, coyotes, foxes, and bobcats
What are some other names for a groundhog? woodchuck, land beaver, and whistlepig (our personal fave)
