Marmots mainly eat greens and many types of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, roots, and flowers.
Yes, marmots hibernate during the winter months to conserve energy and survive the cold temperatures when food is scarce. They enter a state of deep sleep known as torpor and live off stored fat reserves until spring arrives.
Hoary marmots live near the tree line on slopes with grasses and forbs to eat. **Hope this helps
Animals that can be found in the Mont Blanc region include ibex, chamois, marmots, golden eagles, and alpine hares. These animals are well adapted to the high altitudes and harsh conditions of the mountain environment.
Yes, they cough them to death. Marmots are benign, pot-bellied members of the squirrel family. They are about the size of a cat and squeak loudly when alarmed. Less appealingly, the bobac variety, found on the Mongolian steppe, is particularly susceptible to a lung infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, commonly known as bubonic plague. They spread it around by coughing on their neighbours, infecting fleas, rats and, ultimately, humans. All the great plagues that swept through Eastern Asia to Europe came from marmots in Mongolia. The estimated death toll is more than a billion, making the marmot second only to the malarial mosquito as a killer of humans. When marmots and humans succumb to plague, the lymph glands under the armpits and in the groin become black and swollen (these sores are called buboes, from the Greek boubon - groin - hence bubonic). Mongolians will never eat a marmot's armpits because "they contain the soul of a dead hunter". The other parts of the marmot are a delicacy in Mongolia. Bubonic plague is still with us today - the last serious outbreak occurred in India in 1994 - and it is one of the three diseases listed in the US as requiring quarantine (the others are yellow fever and cholera).
Alpine Marmots are found in France
Yes, marmots can swim.
Do marmots live in grasslands?
Alpine Marmots. In Italian they are called "marmotta" in German "Murmeltier".
Marmots are warm-blooded.They hibernate during winter.
marmots eat lots of things like grasses
Marmots are social, herbivorous rodents that primarily enjoy a diet of grasses, herbs, flowers, and leaves. They are often found in mountainous regions, where they thrive in meadows and open areas. In addition to food, marmots appreciate sunny spots for basking and burrows for shelter and protection from predators. Their social nature means they also enjoy the company of other marmots in their colonies.
Marmots prefer mountain forests, steppe and grassland and do not live in deserts.

In 2001 the amount of marmots left in the world was 75 this has probably gone downhill since then
