Whether or not you believe in the weather-predicting capabilities of this infamous animal, you will love this adorable Groundhog puppet. With his overfed belly, cute buckteeth and movable mouth and paws, he'll be a year-round favorite.
Fun Facts:
Groundhogs, or woodchucks, are found in the Northeastern U.S. and most forested parts of Canada.
Woodchucks live alone in burrows with several rooms. They feed during the day on grass, leaves, and flowers.
When groundhogs hibernate, their breathing slows from 260 to 14 breaths a minute. Their body temperature drops to 50 degrees.
German settlers started the Groundhog Day tradition in the U.S. If a grounhog in Punxsutauney, Pennsylvania sees its shadow on February 2nd, winter is supposed to last another six weeks.

This puppet was inexpensive and had very realistic fur. Also the limbs and mouth moved very well and also looked realistic. However there are a few things that leave the puppet looking a little bit unrealistic and fake. First is bad eye location. Second is that mine had a crooked nose :-P Third is the seam running down the groundhog's back. Overall, I am VERY VERY happy with this puppet and I am impressed with all of folkmanis' puppets, they are all very beautiful and charming :-)

Purchased this puppet for my brother who really enjoys watching these live animals. Thought he would get a kick out of it and he did. Puppet really resembles the animal.

My wife's favorite day is Groundhog's Day (don't ask me why . . . I have absolutely NO ideea.) Anyway, I was looking everywhere for a stuffed groundhog and I saw this one and jumped all over it. This has to be the most realistic groundhog puppet I have ever seen. The nice thing is that it can be used as a puppet or it has a wide enough base that it can be displayed as a stuffed animal without falling over. If you are looking for a realistic groundhog for any age, this is the one. Don't settle for cheap imitations . . . this is Punxsutawney approved and a Phil favorite. You will not be disappointed.
