[2] The name "Fred la marmotte" is passed to a succession of groundhogs, that are replaced as they retire or die.

[3] According to the tradition of Groundhog Day, if the enlisted groundhog sees its shadow, then spring will be delayed; if it does not see its shadow, then spring will be early.

[4] Fred was the only groundhog located on a World Heritage Site to be used for Groundhog Day weather prediction.
