Groundhog Staten Island Chuck is seen during a "Groundhog Day" event at the Staten Island Zoo in New York February 2, 2015. In New York City's take on the tradition, officials tried a new arms-length approach on a snowy, slushy Monday at the Staten Island Zoo. This time, a specially built rodent-sized elevator lifted the groundhog known as Staten Island Chuck into what zoo officials called "an innovative Groundhog Day viewing unit." Despite the shadows cast by the strong halogen lights pointing at the groundhog, the creature's handlers had warmer news than that coming out of Pennsylvania. [Photo/Agencies] |
