Informative Speech On Groundhogs Day

Improved Essays
Imagine living for 130 years because of my magical potion. Hi, I am Punxsutawney Phil, and this is what I will do before Groundhog’s Day After living for so long, I have picked up a thing or two about us groundhogs and Groundhog’s day. Groundhogs eat wild grasses, berries, fruits, vegetables, and tree bark. We are marmots which is a type of rodent (Cavia Porcellus). We dig extremely complex tunnels nearby fences, hedgerows, houses, trees, and other types of cover. Not me, live in a library full of books that I read every day.
