The famous groundhog and his partner Phyllis welcomed two baby groundhogs -- also called pups, kits or cubs -- in March 2024, making Punxsutawney Phil the first prophetic groundhog to do so since 1886, according to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

In March 2024, Punxsutawney Phil and Phyllis welcomed their baby groundhogs or kits. The following month, the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club shared that the kits were named Sunny and Shadow and were already growing and developing fur.

So while there have likely been several Punxsutawney Phils since 1886, the Groundhog Club doesn't publicize that information, maintaining that Phil is over 130 years old thanks to the elixir of life. (The club also maintains that Phil is accurate 100% of the time, while the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says it's more like 35% ).

There were furry hats and fireworks to celebrate Punxsutawney Phil. Did he see his shadow on Groundhog Day? Follow along for live updates.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and declared six more weeks of winter before a record crowd at Gobbler’s Knob in Pennsylvania on Feb. 2.
