Marmot Resting


Sender: Hootnoodle
Marmot resting on the alpine tundra in the Olympic Mountain Range

Marmot: one of the largest members of the squirrel family. The Olympic marmot can be found on rocky mountain slopes and hillsides and in alpine meadows. The Olympic marmot is active in the day. It feeds in the morning and afternoon. When is is not feeding, it spends its time sunning itself on rocks. It retreats to its burrow at night. (Ah...that is life...!)
