Interesting.
I had never heard of Candlemass or groundhog day even though I live in one of the northern European counties, which the page seems to refer to.

In danish a groundhog is called a "Jordegern" which directly translated would be something like "earth squirrel".

Perhaps the americans think of them as a kind of underground pigs, while the danes think of them as a kind of underground squirrels, languagewise that is.
