Thursday is Groundhog Day. But why should Punxsutawney Phil (right) get all the glory?

Some facts about the little critters from the Humane Society of the U.S.:

— Groundhogs are fearful of humans and generally cautious creatures.

— They breed in March, producing a litter of four to six offspring born one month after mating.

— They weigh 5 to 10 pounds and measure 16 to 20 inches in length.
