Meet the Marvellous Mountain Marmot: Surprise Company in the B.C. Subalpine

Hikers in Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks may encounter hoary marmots, which are North America's largest members of the squirrel family, as they prepare for hibernation from September to May.
Hoary marmots can weigh up to 13 pounds and prefer high-elevation areas of the Coast and Rocky Mountains, living in rock-laden meadows.
These marmots are identifiable by a white facial mark between their eyes and their long brownish tails, distinguishing them from other marmot species.
The name 'Whistler' comes from the high-pitched call used by hoary marmots to communicate in the mountains.
