This is Wiarton Willy from Wiarton, Ontario, Canada
I actually have a picture of John standing next to this statue, but that was not available for posting at the moment.
Happy Groundhog day to everyone....
and some interesting facts for the day:
- Woodchuck and groundhog are common terms for the same animal.
- Scientific name: Marmota monax.
- Woodchucks can climb trees and also swim.
- Groundhogs in the wild eat green plants, such as dandelion greens, clover, plantain and grasses.
- They feed heavily in summer, storing fat for winter hibernation.
- By February, hibernating woodchucks have lost as much as half their body weight.
- So how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? About 318 kilograms.

318 Kilos is what in American terms?
I don't know. After all, according to Tom Hanks I'm unamerican anyway.
