Cajun Groundhog predicts early spring, mild summer

It looks as if spring has sprung.

The Cajun Groundhog, Pierre C. Shadeaux, didn’t see his shadow this year at the New Iberia Cajun Groundhog Day Ceremony, meaning spring will come early and be longer, while summer will be milder, The Advocate reports.

Pierre, who is actually a nutria, resides at the Zoosiana — Zoo of Acadiana.
