Can anyone upload an mp3/midi of a marmot cry? 86.160.218.209 (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article claimed that marmots emit 'one whistle for aerial threat, more for ground predators' and gave a dubious source, and a link to an article on human whistling (which I removed). From personal observation, alpine marmots emit a series of whistles at the least sign of danger. I have seen and heard a series of whistles in direct response to buzzards many times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.255.103 (talk) 09:56, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

cf Alpenmurmeltier is much better article prhaps someone could translate to this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.22.241.8 (talk) 21:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

in the Romanian Carpathians, for example, the population is estimated at 1,500 individuals. Not possible. Individuals per sq. km perhaps? Something has been lost here.--Wetman (talk) 22:40, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota) is a large ground-dwelling squirrel, from the genus of marmots. It is found in high numbers in mountainous areas of central and southern Europe, at heights between 800 and 3,200 metres (2,600 and 10,500 feet) in the Alps, the Carpathians, the Tatras, and the northern Apennines. In 1948, the species was reintroduced with success in the Pyrenees, where it had disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene epoch. This Alpine marmot was photographed in the Grand Muveran federal game reserve, in the Swiss canton of Vaud.
