Fred la Marmotte

About

Fred la marmotte was a prognosticating Quebecois groundhog from Val-d’Espoir in the Gaspésie, Quebec before retiring in 2023. Overwhelmed by his gift of clairvoyance, Fred relied upon his handler and a mascot in his likeness to announce his prediction. Fred was unique in being the only weather-predicting groundhog whose habitat was located on a World Heritage Site, the “Géoparc mondial UNESCO de Percé.”
