Alpine Animals: Meet Colorado's Marmots

- Spend time in the alpine on Colorado's 14ers and you'll undoubtedly see marmots. Some of these "yellow-bellied" marmots actually have yellow bellies, while others are almost solid black and gray. Why?
Colorado State University Biology Professor Greg Florant, PhD, shares his wealth of knowledge about why Colorado's marmots are they way they are, how their reproductive cycle works throughout the year, and why it will largely be juvenile marmots running around in August and September long after their parents have gone into their subterranean burrows to hibernate for the winter.

They live where we only wish we could. What a wonderful life they live.
I saw one the first time when we were on mountain trails. I thought omg what an interesting forest creature
I always called those mountain moles when i hiked 14ers 🤣
Do the live in attics?
