I study marmots with my dad.
Marmots are brown furry mammals.
They live a burrow.
I study marmots in Colorado.
When I study marmots I try to see how loud they get.
The loudest marmot I have heard is 120 db from 2m.
I want to see how loud they get because than I can find out if a predator is around their burrow or them.
Where I study marmots the most successful predator is the fox.
When marmots get scared they make a loud screaming sound called alarm calling.
If you studied marmots you would take notes I take notes and always record data.
We use large metal live traps.
When the marmots get trapped normally they get scared.
We use traps because we can’t catch them otherwise they are too fast.
This is me holding a marmot.
