THE ALPINE MARMOT. In the heights of the mountainous district of Europe is found the typical animal of the sub-family of the
Marmots. The summers are short in the region inhabited by this Marmot, and the animals in the picture are shown enjoying themselves during

They are excellent diggers, able to penetrate soil that even a pickaxe would have difficulty with, and spend up to nine months per year in hibernation.
