Staten Island Chuck, the legendary groundhog, prepares for his February 2nd weather prediction with an impressive 85% accuracy rate, winning the affection of crowds at the Staten Island Zoo. Curator Cathy Eser describes him as mellow and low-key. Over the years, generations of Chuck have provided reliable predictions, contrasting sharply with Punxsutawney Phil's poor 39% rate. Jessica Hartmann, the zoo's education director, highlights Chuck's comfort with the attention, underscoring his role as a beloved local celebrity as visitors flock to see him each Groundhog Day celebration.
The zoo's current Chuck is no different. "He’s used to the paparazzi!" said Jessica Hartmann, the zoo’s director of education. "You come to the Staten Island Zoo, you want to see Staten Island Chuck."
