Description
This photo was taken out of the window from the cafeteria at the top of Rocky Mountain National Park. I love how this little Yellow-bellied Marmot looks like he is calling out, perhaps hailing a taxi or calling the bartender for another round, lol! A humorous image to make you laugh. In actuality s/he is just stretching. :)
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 September 2, 2021 in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
