The subject of folklore and tongue-twisters, this animal is not actually a hog, but a rodent. More specifically, the groundhog belongs to the marmot family. Several cities in North America hold festivals for Groundhog Day on February 2, when superstition holds that if a groundhog sees its shadow, winter will continue for six more weeks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(95, 42, 122);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Marmota monax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(95, 42, 122);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This groundhog is rearing up on his hind legs to have a bit of a look around.
