About Fat Marmot Week
About Fat Marmot Week
The largest of the true hibernators, marmots bulk up all summer to survive the winter. Fat Marmot Week is an opportunity to get folks excited about yellow-bellied marmots, one of our favorite alpine residents, and to share the science behind their weight gain. The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL) Marmot Project is hosting the event, and we'll share insights into the marmots we study while we root for them to get fat!
Contestants will be revealed starting July 27th!
VOTING STARTS AUGUST 24TH
