Female groundhog steps into the spotlight

DETROIT, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Woody the groundhog from Howell, Mich., has begun to make a name for female woodchucks in the spring prediction business.

Woody has been right in predicting when spring would come for six of the last eight years, the Detroit Free Press reported.

The intuitive groundhog lives at the Howell Nature Center. She competes for the spotlight with other famous groundhogs like Gen. Beau Lee in Georgia, Sir Walter Wally in North Carolina and Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania.

Her accuracy has often been attributed to the fact that she's a female and is therefore more responsible, the newspaper said. Others are not convinced that gender even plays a role though.
