SUN PRAIRIE (WITI) — The mayor of Sun Prairie, Jonathan Freund, will likely remember this Groundhog Day for some time.

During the annual ceremony on Monday morning, February 2nd, Freund said Jimmy the Groundhog whispered his forecast to him — and that he said there would be an early spring. But maybe the mayor misheard, because Jimmy wasn’t all that happy about being held near the mayor — and took a bite of the mayor’s ear. Take a look.

Poor little critter was shoved all up in the mayor's face with that meaty morsel ripe for the pickin'.

4. Groundhogs (woodchucks) have a reputation for being grumpy

when woken up from their hibernation. Ouch!

There's one I see frequently during warmer weather a couple of blocks from my house. Cute critters. Most people don't know that they're North America's largest member of the squirrel family.

7. Little known fact: goundhogs hate the smell of ear wax...

...obviously Mr. Mayor was ignorant of that point.
