In this case, the stars are yellow-bellied marmots, and the cheekily named account is “OnlyMarms.”
The stars of OnlyMarms have names like Jamba Juice and Egg; its subject matter includes marmot social interaction, alarm calls and strategies for avoiding predators.
Subscriptions are free, but admirers can leave tips in exchange for the photos and videos captured by the research team.
While OnlyMarms may keep the marmots in the public eye and bring in some welcome cash, crowdfunding alone can’t come close to sustaining the project’s ongoing fieldwork.
