I decided to choose an animal that is commonly seen by the roadside in WV, the groundhog. Groundhogs (aka woodchucks) are one of several species of marmots that stuff themselves over the spring, summer, and fall then hibernate during the winter. This has also helped bring them into our pantheon of holiday characters as heralds of winter's end. The most famous of these is Punxsutawney Phil.
