In search of some Punxsutawney Phil trivia?

Here's everything you could possibly want to know about the groundhog, ahead of the 130th Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney on Feb. 2.

Punxsutawney Phil conducts an interview after predicting an early Spring on Groundhog Day at Gobblers Knob in Punxsutawney, Pa. 02/02/2013 Sean Simmers | ssimmers@pennlive.com

How old is Punxsutawney Phil?

Phil is 130 years old, supposedly. The average groundhog lives to be between 6-8 years, but Phil takes a magical elixir every summer to extend his lifespan. The elixir also changes his appearance (much like the Doctor in "Doctor Who"), which explains why Phil may be grey one year and a youthful brown the next.

Alas, the elixir does not work on humans.

"We've tried, it just makes them fat and bald," said Ron Ploucha, Stump Warden of the Inner Circle of the Groundhog Club and co-handler of Phil. "If you saw some of our Inner Circle members you can tell the ones that tried."

What's Punxustawney Phil's full name?

The groundhog's name is Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators and Weather Prophet Extraordinary.

How do we know if the groundhog saw this shadow?

When Phil comes out of his stump on Gobbler's Knob on Groundhog Day, he has a conversation with the president of the Inner Circle of the Groundhog Club in Groundhogese. The president then announces Phil's prediction.

What's the weirdest prediction Phil has made?

He once threatened when he threatened to impose 60 weeks of winter if he didn't get some booze during Prohibition. That probably counts as the weirdest.

What does Phil eat?

Oat and honey granola bars are Phil's favorite food, according to Ploucha - in particular Nature Valley ones.

How does Phil get around?

He has a special car called the Philmobile. It's a little bus that houses members of the Inner Circle. Phil has a special seat on the outside, so he can be seen on parades.

Does Phil do anything weird?

Oftentimes during summer parades, crowds will panic as the Philmobile draws through. That's because they will see Phil lying flat on his back, legs in the air looking dead. But he isn't, this is just how groundhogs cool off, according to Ploucha. One tap on the glass and Phil turns himself the right way round again.

Is Phil the reason we have a longer winter?

No, he just predicts it. "Some people get upset when he calls for six more weeks of winter," Ploucha said. "But it's not his fault that he sees that coming."
