Groundhogs may see their shadows when emerging from their holes, but it's sex that they're really looking for. That's the conclusion of a Penn State researcher who has been studying the little brutes for the past five years. "During the (non-hibernation) part of the year, the males and females pretty much stay apart," said Stam Zervanos, a biology professor. "They're anti-social.... I think that part of their routine in this part of the year is ... to see which females are available and where they are." Typical guy behavior.
