Questions and answers

Alpine Nature Questions and Answers

Why do marmots whistle in high mountain meadows?
Marmots use sharp, loud whistling sounds to warn other members of their colony when an eagle or predator approaches their territory.
What makes gentian flowers unique in mountain habitats?
Gentians are famous for their intense royal blue blossoms, which open wide in sunny alpine weather and close tightly during rain or cold mountain nights.
How do marmots stay warm during alpine winters?
Marmots store thick layers of body fat during late summer and huddle close together inside insulated burrows packed with dry grass.
