Jimmy the Groundhog turns on Wisconsin mayor

A mayor in Wisconsin has learned a valuable lesson about his city's weather-predicting critter: Don't get too close.

Jimmy, the official groundhog in Sun Prairie, bit the mayor's left ear during the 67th Groundhog Day celebration on Monday.

A handler was holding the rodent next to 41-year-old Jonathan Freund's face when it promptly launched an attack. Footage of the incident shows Freund flinching back and wincing.

I don't blame the groundhog. Leave those poor animals alone. They get scared to death by humans every Feb. 2nd.

Someone has to be an IDIOT to let a groundhog even be ten feet from you.See them on the farm and there like a Tasmanian devil when your near them.
