noun
zoology
A heavily built burrowing rodent of mountain and open country that hibernates through the winter.
Marmots live in colonies in the Alps, the Rockies and the Asian steppes, and they whistle loudly to warn the group when an eagle or fox is near. They spend most of the year underground, sleeping through the cold months on stored fat. The groundhog of North America is a kind of marmot, and so is the animal in the famous February weather lore.
