Alpine marmots near the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, Austria
Sorry fellas, not only are you not the right species—groundhogs are Marmota monax while alpine marmots are Marmota marmota—but you live in Austria, near the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, which is nowhere near western Pennsylvania. Today Punxsutawney Phil will emerge and tell us if we’re due for six more weeks of winter. Our three alpine marmots should probably get back to hibernating—something they do for as many as nine months.
