Wisconsin Groundhog Bites Mayor

Wisconsin groundhog bites mayor in brutal, but ultimately futile, protest of ridiculous tradition.

Jimmy the Groundhog doesn’t care about your frivolous attempts to divine weather patterns with his shadow. Yesterday, during Sun Prairie, Wisconsin‘s Groundhog Day celebrations, after being dragged from his hole, Jimmy did what any self-respecting Wisconsinite would do – he tried to eat the mayor.

Jonathan Freund narrowly escaped Jimmy’s gaping maw with his ear intact.

We can only hope that, since Jimmy now has a taste for blood, next year’s festivities will be even more exciting.
