Hedgehog Day

What's all this about Groundhog Day? Punxsutawney Phil may hog most of the attention, but Oregon Zoo experts say hedgehogs are the ones to watch. Celebrate Hedgehog Day at the zoo, where an African pygmy hedgehog will make its prediction: Will it be an early spring, or six more weeks of winter? Free with zoo admission.
