Happy Groundhog Day!
The woodchuck (Marmota monax), also known as a groundhog, is pictured on a 1987 U.S. stamp. Is that a shadow under him?
Did you know that the woodchuck and the groundhog are the same marmot (Marmota monax)?
There appears to be a small shadow under the woodchuck shown on this 22¢ stamp issued as part of the North American Wildlife sheet of 50 stamps. Does this mean six more weeks of winter?
How many other of these marmots appear on stamps?
