Babkak Tymko III shared his forecast for spring. He predicts its early arrival, but we will also see snow, reports UNN.
For example, Lilia Zmiy, the head of the press service of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, shared a video and photos of Tymko's "forecast" from his home, a biological steppe hospital in the Velykoburlutska community of Kharkiv region.
On the 21st anniversary of Groundhog Day, Volodymyr Grubnyk, head of Karazin University's biological station, deciphered this year's "forecast" of Timka III, according to which spring will be early.
He says that this year spring has not gone away, we have it and will have it. But there may still be some frosts and snow may still cover the ground, but spring will come
In addition, students from the Biology Department of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University treated Tymko to some fruit and vegetables.
This year, due to the unstable condition of Timka III, a groundhog who wakes up and then sleeps, he made his spring forecast remotely for the first time - in his hibernation and only in the presence of biologists-keepers.
