Usually all the marmot drama happens in the early season
(April-May), but last week I was lucky enough to witness a close-up marmot
fight between two of the biggest males at one of our colonies!
The contestants? “Five-dice-dots” vs. “Female-sign” (I know,
something isn’t quite right about putting that fur mark on a male…).
While I was walking around the area to see if any litters of
pups had emerged, I came across these two rolling around and aggressively
biting each other right around the area where their two territories connect. Although
I was only a few meters away, they didn’t seem bothered by my presence and
continued fighting for a couple minutes. The most surprising part of the fight
was that, aside from some loud ‘puff’ noises, they were completely silent!
Check out the video to see if you can distinguish the marks
and identify the champion!
The ultimate champion? “Five-dice-dots!”
