Olympic marmot

The Olympic marmot is a unique species of marmot found only in the Olympic Mountains of Washington State. They’re known for their distinctive behavior and habitat, which is quite different from other marmot species. They hibernate for about six to eight months each year, emerging in late spring. They’re also considered a threatened species due to habitat loss and climate change. Have you come across them in the wild, or are you just interested in learning about them?

Habitat: They live exclusively in the Olympic Mountains in Washington State. Their habitat is typically alpine meadows and subalpine forests.

Size: Olympic marmots are relatively large rodents, with adults weighing between 4 to 8 pounds (1.8 to 3.6 kg). They have a robust build and a thick, furry coat.

Diet: Their diet consists mainly of grasses, herbs, and other vegetation. They eat a lot in the summer to build up fat reserves for hibernation.
