Vancouver Island Marmot

Vancouver Island

The Vancouver Island Marmot are an endangered critter and are
naturally seen in the high mountain areas on our Island.
An adult marmot typically measures 25-27 inches and weighs about 12-16 pounds.
The marmots live in burrows, are herbivores and hibernate from about
late September to early May.
