There are actually quite a few creatures in North America that get “asked” in February to predict the end of winter. Here is a list of those I could find. Each one has been verified to be active as of Groundhog Day, 2023. This list only include those that predict the end of winter, not any that predict the winners of any sporting events or elections.
