Groundhog Day -- February 2nd

Move over Punxsutawney Phil, and make room for Essex Ed, the resident groundhog at The Turtle Back Zoo. Here is some background information on Ed:


"Essex Ed has been predicting the mid-winter forecast since 1997 and the zoo had various other groundhogs predict before him. In the mid-2000s, Essex Ed started adding Super Bowl predictions to his prognostication. He's much better at predicting the weather than football, but in his defense, he hibernates through most of the sport's season."

Background Image Notes

The Pan-African flag was created in 1920 to represent people of the African Diaspora and to symbolize black liberation in the United States. As flags symbolize the union of governance, people, and territory, this flag was created to give Black people in America and the world over a symbol that unifies the Diaspora.
