This is another one for my dad. Yellow-bellied marmots live in rocky, mountainous areas of western North America. They live in burrows where a male marmot has a “harem” of two or three females. In a nice change from the usual, yellow-bellied marmots are common throughout their range and not endangered. Yay yellow-bellied marmots!

0015Happy Father’s Day! In honor of the occasion, here is a groundhog, requested by my father-in-law, Steve. Groundhogs are also called woodchucks, but the tongue-twister “How much ground could a groundhog hog if a groundhog could hog ground?” never really took off. Like almost half of the mammals in the world, groundhogs are rodents. (If you wanted to draw only all the rodents, at the rate of one rodent drawing a day, it would take you about 6 years to finish.)

Hello, hoary marmot! These guys live in northwestern North America from Alaska down into Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. They’re also known as whistlers, and they hibernate from fall to spring, which I could do, too. This is another of Leigh’s requests from his trip through the west a few years ago.
