Officials at the Audubon Zoo say spring is right around the corner, after a new rodent made her prediction on this Groundhog Day.

"At Audubon Zoo the official prognosticator is an 'earth pig'," according to a news release.


"Lovely Leia the aardvark made this year’s weather predictions at Audubon Zoo," according to spokeswoman Melissa Lee. "This is Leia’s first attempt at weather forecasting."

She says that "Earth Pig" is another name for aardvark in some parts of the world.

Lee says Leia understood the assignment, spent some time carefully weighing the climatological options and decided that the New Orleans area can expect an early spring this year.
