NEW ORLEANS — Warmer weather is just around the corner according to “Parish” Audubon Zoo’s resident nutria, who made her Groundhog Day prediction on Wednesday morning with the help of her animal care team.
Early this morning, the prognosticating rodent quietly crawled out of her den at the Zoo and predicted that spring is just around the corner. Disagreeing with her groundhog pal, Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil, Parish’s message was clear: New Orleanians should expect an early spring and should get ready for some sunshine and good times for the upcoming Carnival season!
