Finland has a population of about 5.5 million people but an estimated 3.3 million saunas — roughly one sauna for every 1.7 people. This outnumbers the country's registered cars. Saunas are deeply embedded in Finnish culture; there are even saunas in the Finnish parliament building.

The groundhog, or woodchuck (Marmota monax), is the most well-known marmot species. Every February 2nd, Punxsutawney Phil — a groundhog in Pennsylvania, USA — supposedly predicts the arrival of spring: if he sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter are expected. This 'Groundhog Day' tradition dates back to the 1880s and is now a beloved cultural event attracting tens of thousands of visitors annually.
