💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦫🗳️ Researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory launched Fat Marmot Week, a voting #contest celebrating yellow-bellied #marmots fattened for #winter.
Last winter’s low #snowpack killed two-thirds of one study #population, and federal #funding cuts shrank the team. The decades-old #study is raising #money through #donations and a #memecoin to keep going.
