Why marmots Scream I Wild To Know

↠ Want to know more wild facts? Check out our Wild to Know series: • Wild to Know
In Montana, hoary marmots live in underground burrows grouped together in small colonies. They’re on good terms with some of their neighbors, but others - like eagles - present a serious threat . . . To keep the entire colony safe, marmots and their neighbors have developed a unique alarm system. Check out their secret language of warning whistles and see how “Marmot Town” protects itself from predators.

“In marmot town, guard duty is serious business.” *high-pitched scream*

[@moetojablonski4338]

I often wonder how the camera team could film inside the shelter or so nearby the marmots... Its truly a amazing craft

[@BlueMusicFan]

I love your channel. You often cover topics no one else does and you always have the best footage to go with it. There's only one little critique I have: Pikas belong to the order Lagomorpha, so they are related to hares and rabbits. Rodents belong to another order (Rodentia). The two are closely related forming the clade glires.

[@lenafromterramater3690]

Wow we really feel honoured 😊 Have you already voted for us? This would mean a lot 🙌 Thank you so much for sharing this information with the community!

[@NashTurley]

yes, I was about to say the same thing about pikas

[@indyreno2933]

@BlueMusicFan, however, lagomorphs (order Lagomorpha) and rodents (order Rodentia) are not that closely related, which is why Glires is further divided into two smaller lineages, Duplicidentata for the lagomorphs and fossil taxa more closely related to lagomorphs than to rodents and Simplicidentata for the rodents and fossil taxa more closely related to rodents than to lagomorphs, much similar to how hoofed mammals (aka ungulates) are further split into two lineages, Mesaxonia for the odd-toed hoofed mammals (order Perissodactyla) and fossil taxa more closely related to them than to even-toed hoofed mammals and Paraxonia for the even-toed hoofed mammals (order Artiodactyla) and fossil taxa more closely related to them than to odd-toed hoofed mammals.

So fascinating! I wonder how they managed to get a camera in those burrows. Marmots and their neighbors are so cute!

[@terramater]

They are!

[@alveolate]

so did you guys excavate a section of their burrow to get that in-burrow shot? might be extra cool if you showed more short clips of how you get your amazing close-ups, like a mini behind-the-scenes, for each video you have... would also lengthen your videos so they work better with the yt algorithm. you really need to hit that 10min sweet spot!

What a beautiful video, one note, pikas are actually in the lagomorphia order, which are an order containing rabbits and hares. A common misconception that because of their size and physiology that they look like rodents but they aren't! In any case, I enjoyed the video and can't stop looking at these cute little marmots 🥳
