Autumn is here, cooler nights, shorter days. Soon the Vancouver Island marmot will go into hibernation. This adult marmot was enjoying the last days of summer. Photo taken a few years ago. #photography #nature #marmots #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIslandMarmot #BritishColumbia #Canada

Here's a Vancouver Island marmot pup to start your week. Young animals are curious and sometimes they get closer to the camera to the delight of photographers. Note that I used a telephoto lens for this photo of a wild marmot in a subalpine meadow on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. #photography #nature #wildlife #VancouverIslandWildlife #marmots

Vancouver Island marmots will soon come out of hibernation. Some colonies are located on ski hills so they close the ski resort for a few weeks in April. This marmot is endemic to Vancouver Island. It's an endangered species that is making a remarquable recovery thanks to marmots.org #photography #wildlife #marmots #VancouverIslandWildlife #BritishColumbia #conservation #EndangeredSpecies
