!!!Murmeltier Marmot, rodent approximately 50 cm in length, lives on Alpine pastures and meadows on sunny slopes with deep topsoil permitting the construction of extensive burrows; they live in colonies and hibernate for 6 to 7 months in nests in their burrows, which they pad with grass hay which they dry from August onwards. When alarmed, they emit a sharp, whistling call to warn the members of their colony. %%language [Back to the Austrian Version|AEIOU/Murmeltier|class='wikipage austrian'] %% [{FreezeArticle author='AEIOU' template='Lexikon_1995_englisch'}] [{ALLOW view All}][{ALLOW comment All}][{ALLOW edit FreezeAdmin}]
