Description
Yellow-bellied Marmot lounging in the alpine tundra at around 14 thousand feet on a summer morning. S/he looks happy now that the weather has warmed up and there's plenty to eat! I saw this beautiful guy as I was driving down from the top of the peak, and stopped to take a photo.
From the National Park Service: "The extreme winters of higher elevations require yellow-bellied marmots to use hibernation as a survival strategy. Marmots spend over half their lives in hibernation. They enter their burrows in September to early October and don't emerge again until the following April or May. All the colony members huddle closely together in a burrow room insulated with hay. This action helps reduce some of the energy costs associated with hibernating."
Photo taken on June 26, 2018, on Mount Evans, Colorado
