Habits and Lifestyle
Olympic Marmots are gregarious burrowing animals. They live in colonies containing multiple burrows. These burrows are used for hibernation, protection from bad weather and predators, and raising offspring. A typical colony consists of a male, 2-3 females, and their young; young marmots stay with their family for 2 years. The activity of these animals varies with the weather, time of day, and time of year; during summer months because of rain and fog, marmots spend most of the day in burrows and forage mostly in the morning and evening. In between these times, they lay on rocks warming under the sun, grooming each other, playing, chirping, and feeding together. Olympic Marmots start to enter hibernation in early September. Before hibernating, they bring dry grass into the burrow for bedding or food. Adults emerge after hibernation in May, and the young in June. When communicating vocally, Olympic Marmots have 4 different types of whistles which include flat calls, ascending calls, descending calls, and trills.Mating Habits
Olympic Marmots are polygynous, which means that males mate with more than one female during a breeding season. These marmots come out from hibernation at the beginning of May, and breeding occurs about two weeks later. Females give birth to 1-6 young in a grass-lined burrow underground after the gestation period that lasts around 4 weeks. Newborn pups cannot see, have no fur, and are pink in color. After a month, pups first leave the burrow; around the same time, they begin to be weaned. Even after they are allowed to emerge, the young stay close to the burrow, where they chase each other and fight playfully. Within a few weeks after first emerging from the burrow, the young are fully weaned and can feed themselves. Olympic Marmots are not completely independent from their mothers until they reach two years of age. Both males and females become mature at 3 years, but females generally don’t breed until they are 4 or 5 years old.

The Red Squirrel, a member of the Sciuridae, is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent often referred to as a Forest Seeder and folklore as the Devil King Squirrel.
The Arizona Gray Squirrel, also known as the American Gray Squirrel, is a member of the family Rodentia and Sciuridae. It is small in size, with gray fur and a belly between white and cream. It has long ears, no tufts of fur and a fluffy tail edged in white. The body is about 16-20 inches long and weighs up to 1.4 pounds.
The Rock Squirrel, also known as Sao Maozi or Stone Mouse, belongs to the rodent and is a species in the family Sciuridae. The most common natural predators of the Rock Squirrel include bobcats, owls, eagles and snakes. Though the Rock Squirrel is cute, alert, and courageous, it is still considered a pest due to its habit of destroying crops.
The Abert’s Squirrel is a member of the genus Sciurus with a body length of 18-22.8 inches, a tail length of 7.5-9.8 inches and a weight of 2.2 pounds, and can live up to 10 years in the wild. Its most distinctive feature is tassels of fur about 0.8-1.2 inches long at the tip of its ears, which looks very interesting. In addition, it is alert and agile.
OUTDOORS: Coyotes, Climate Have Impacted Olympic Marmots
One week from today, the Port Angeles Lefties will take the Civic Field diamond for their season opener attired in caps and jerseys featuring a marmot mascot logo, an ode to one of the North Olympic Peninsula’s most popular endemic species, the Olympic Marmot.
These native Peninsulaites evolved separately from other marmot species thanks to ice-age isolation and are found only in the alpine meadows within Olympic National Park and surrounding national forest and nowhere else in the world. Rodents in the squirrel family, they are most easily observed nuzzling, playing and chirping in and around the mountain meadows above 4,000 feet near Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.
The park has overseen volunteer monitoring of the species since 2010, and is now accepting volunteer applications for the Olympic Marmot Monitoring Program’s 2017 survey season. The 2017 application deadline is next Thursday, June 1, but may close earlier if enough eligible volunteers have been accepted or last longer if some trips remain unfilled.
“We started monitoring the species after a decline was documented in the early 2000s,” said Olympic National Park Wildlife Branch Chief Patti Happe. “The population has appeared to have stabilized since we began the monitoring program, but at a lower level than what was observed in the 1990s or early 2000s.”
Marmots colonies are still found in good numbers at Royal Basin in Jefferson County and Hurricane Hill in Clallam County, but whole colonies have disappeared.
Previous research studies have helped biologists come to theorize the population dips were caused by a link between coyotes and changes in climate. “At other spots, the research that this was founded on saw high level of predation by coyotes,” Happe said. “The coyotes were taking lots of marmots, especially adult females. Coyotes are not a native species to the Olympic Peninsula, but the adaptable creatures have spread in all directions and now populate all of the lower 48 states, plus Alaska.”
