Now, get ready for Fat Marmot Week! Marmots bulk up all summer long to survive the winter and now will face head to head in a similar format to Fat Bear Week. The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory Marmot Project organized this competition in an effort to teach the public more about the yellow-bellied animals. Starting on August 24, the public gets to vote on which marmot they feel best shows excellent hibernation preparation...in other words, which is the fattest marmot?
