MARYLAND GROUNDHOG


IS


BETTER THAN PHIL


Exclusive Video




Today is Groundhog Day. But while attention is turned to overhyped groundhog Phil in Pennsylvania, Maryland has its own groundhog in Hagerstown.

This groundhog is surviving amidst the suburban environment all around him. Unlike Phil, he doesn't have to be dragged out of his hole. The Hagerstown groundhog is quite capable of popping up out of his hole all by himself. And disappearing back into it, as you will see later in the video.

I was standing on top of the steep hill at a hotel on Dual Highway, and this little guy ran up the drain and leapt into his hole. But he saw me with the camera, and slowly raised himself out of the hole. This video begins at that moment. Enjoy!
