• R to @NatlParkService: In the meantime, did you know Marmots are the weightiest among squirrels, with a body weight ranging from 4.4-24.2 lb? They have short but strong legs that are ideal for digging burrows and thick fur that come in various shades (mostly gray, some brown, also red-yellow).

• R to @NatlParkService: Marmots live for the weekend. (Don’t we all?) Despite their love for burrows, and not knowing what a weekend is, marmots are friendly yet social creatures. They can live happily on their own (in and out of burrows), or in harmony with other marmots.
