Marmot Figurine CollectA S

• Marmots are large, ground-dwelling rodents that belong to the squirrel family. They are found primarily in mountainous regions of North America, Europe, and Asia and are known for their robust bodies, burrowing habits, and social behaviours. There are 15 species of marmots, with some of the most well-known being the Alpine marmot in Europe. They typically live in alpine meadows, grasslands, and sometimes forests. Marmots play a critical role in their ecosystems. Their burrowing activity aerates the soil and promotes plant growth, and they serve as prey for a variety of predators. Additionally, their droppings help fertilize the areas around their burrows, supporting the growth of local vegetation. Figurine size: 3.3cm x 5.5cm
