!!!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.
