Best Answer

The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as the woodchuck, land beaver or whistlepig, is a rodent. And since we're under the heading of French History, let us note that the day he appears and scans for shadows is celebrated in France as Chandeleur - Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple.
