They have proved to be quite the page-turning, excellent-digging mammal. Let&#8217;s hear some facts about the little geezers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marmots are called marmots but they are also known as groundhogs and wood chucks, which is why when you type their name into google image a bunch of photos of groundhogs appear. Don&#8217;t let this confuse you.<\/li>\n<li>Their scientific name is Marmota Monax, which would be a good name for a femme fetale in a film noir or a super villain in a Spiderman comic. Take note Marvel!<\/li>\n<li>Unfortunately they do not like humans or owls which will severely affect any future relationship I may have with a marmot. Learning this made me sad for several minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Their primary food is stuff you would find outside such as grass, dry grass and lightly wetted grass although tell this to the marmot I saw hiding behind a tree in the park pushing\u00a0a Big Mac into his mouth.<\/li>\n<li>Marmots are far more interesting and industrious than most of its animal relatives, in fact I&#8217;d even go so far as to say they&#8217;re probably more industrious than my relatives. They will store food up for the winter several months before winter. Recent developments in Apple technology have also been attributed to marmots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There. Now if anyone asks you if you know anything about marmots you can pretend you do.
