When hiking and camping in Colorado's alpine areas, it's always a good idea to keep food in a bear canister, hang it or take some other defensive action to keep it away from animals. Even the adorable marmot will get into your pack or tent if you carelessly store food.
Learn more about why marmots might want to get into your pack and why it's bad for them to get habituated to human food in this interview with Colorado State University Biology Professor Greg Florant, PhD, a marmot researcher and expert.
