NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) -- Lux the Skunk predicted an early spring during the "Not So" Groundhog Day celebration at the Virginia Living Museum Sunday.

The museum's ambassador striped skunk thrilled the audience alongside WAVY-TV 10's Meteorologist Jeremy Wheeler reprising his role as master of ceremonies.

Lux made his debut prediction since the traditional forecaster, Chesapeake Chuck, remained in hibernation.

"Our native wildlife never ceases to amaze us with their remarkable adaptations. While Chesapeake Chuck follows his natural instinct to hibernate, Lux demonstrates the incredible diversity of winter survival strategies," said Deanna Orr, Ambassador Animal Manager. "By honoring these natural behaviors, we're not just celebrating our animals – we're showcasing the fascinating ways Virginia's wildlife adapts and thrives throughout the seasons."

Other animal predictions on upcoming current events also took place. The museum's white tail deer duo predicted the Philadelphia Eagles will win the Super Bowl, the turtles in Piedmont & Mountains Gallery predicted Sabrina Carpenter's "Short N' Sweet" will win the Grammy's Record of the Year and Danni the porcupine predicted that the Oscar's Best Picture will be awarded to "I'm Still Here".
