Porcupine Stands in for Marmot on Groundhog Day

By KTUU News Staff Channel 2 News

12:16 p.m. AKST, February 3, 2013 PORTAGE, Alaska—

Thanks to the Alaska State Legislature, Alaska celebrates Marmot Day on February 2, which is the Alaska version of Groundhog Day.

This year, Snickers, a porcupine, stood in for Alaska’s furry ground squirrel at a celebration in Portage at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

AWWC says, like his Punxsutawney cousin, the "prickly favorite" did not see his shadow, which means an early spring.

Sen. Linda Menard, R-Wasilla, sponsored the bill in 2009 and former Governor Sarah Palin signed Marmot Day into law and it became an Alaskan tradition with the first celebration in 2010.

I saw a pic of the wh moocher hovering around the groundhogs home, and said to a friend of mine, 'if he sees her face, that groundhog ain't never comin' out'...

btw, why was the groundhog replaced?

I don't know. I've never seen anything besides red squirrels, porcupines, ermine and snowshoe hare at this time of year. It'll be late April or May before the marmots/woodchucks/ground squirrels emerge from their dens.
