Marmot Figurine

A symbol of the mountains, the marmot is a small mammal recognizable by its stocky body, short legs, and thick fur. It can be found in alpine meadows, where it digs vast burrows connected by underground tunnels.

A herbivore, it feeds on grasses, flowers, and roots, which it sometimes stores before winter. Surprisingly, the marmot hibernates for nearly six months, huddled with other members of its colony to conserve heat. Highly vigilant, it emits a sharp whistle to alert its fellow marmots in case of danger, before taking refuge in its burrow.

This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the marmot: dense fur, realistic posture, and expressive snout. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent mountain stories, or introduce children to the richness of alpine wildlife.

A great gift idea for curious children, animal enthusiasts, those interested in discovering wildlife, and collectors of Papo figurines.
