The prognosticating groundhog of Gobbler's Knob, Punxsutawney Phil, did not see his shadow — ushering in an early spring.

However, Phil isn't the only forecasting animal to make a prediction on the changing of the seasons. Connecticut has its own roster of animals that make their own Groundhog Day predictions: Scramble the duck, Chuckles the groundhog and Beardsley Bart.

Of Connecticut's three Groundhog Day animals, Beardsley Bart has had the most luck in correctly guessing the weather, boasting an 80 percent rate of accuracy in the past five years, according to previous reporting by Hearst Connecticut.

Here is what Connecticut's prophesying animals have to say about the spring.

Beardsley Bart

The prairie dog of Bridgeport's Beardsley Zoo has declared that Connecticut can expect an early spring.

Because his habitat is under renovation, Bart did not make an appearance on Friday morning. Instead, a small group of individuals, led by mayor Joe Ganim, announced Bart's prediction on the zoo's Facebook page.

Zoo director Gregg Dancho told Hearst Connecticut that there have been a number of "Beardsley Bart's," though most of them have been correct with their predictions. There are 35 to 40 prairie dogs in the habitat, according to Dancho.

In the past five years, Bart has correctly guessed the coming season four times.

Chuckles

Chuckles, the official groundhog of Connecticut, did not see his shadow — predicting an early spring as well. A crowd gathered early on Friday at the Lutz Children's Museum in Manchester, where Manchester mayor Jay Moran translated Chuckles' prediction to the crowd.

Chuckles has been the state's official groundhog since 1999, and the current prognosticator, Chuckles XI, has been active since 2022. Every time Chuckles has predicted an early spring in the past five years, his prediction has come true. Chuckles' accuracy during the past five years is less than Bart, sitting at a 60 percent rate of accuracy.

Scramble the Duck

Like his fellow prognosticating animals in Connecticut, Scramble the Duck has also predicted an early spring.

Though not a rodent like Beardsley Bart and Chuckles, Scramble is a Pekin duck who has been making his weather predictions since 2015. A symbol for the town of Eastford, Scramble has been the center of the annual "Duck Day" ceremonies, which features a crowd gathering outside of the Ivy Glenn Memorial to see Scramble walk out of his tiny house and make his prediction. Scramble is owned by the Torcellini family in town, who dress up in the vein of Abraham Lincoln to deliver Scramble's prediction.

Unlike Connecticut's other forecasting animals, Scramble has incorrectly guessed a late winter for the past five years.
