Description Yellow-bellied Marmot on the look out. Yellow-bellied Marmot (Marmota flaviventris)Marmots are one of the largest members of the squirrel family. They can be two feet in length and weigh up to 11 pounds. Their large body size is an adaptation to the cold, high elevation sites in which they live. Marmots have reddish-brown fur and a yellow belly, from which they get their name. They are related to woodchucks and groundhogs in other parts of the country. Marmots are omnivores and eat grasses, flowers, insects and even bird eggs when available. While feeding out in the open, one marmot stands as a sentinel and whistles sharply when danger is near. This gives each colony member a chance to escape into the nearest burrow entrance. When above ground, marmots spend much of their time fattening up and resting in the sunshine during the short growing season.
