Meet the “Tundra Ghost” — the Alaska marmot (Marmota broweri)! Quick hook: rugged, remote, and built to survive where few mammals can. Found in the Brooks Range and rocky alpine tundra near lakes and scree slopes, these colony-living marmots dig deep burrows, hibernate for long winters, and sport thick fur to brave frigid conditions. Perfect for late-summer field trips: scan rocky slopes with binoculars or telephoto gear, keep your distance, and look near lakes and scree fields. As a hiker, spotting one on a multi-day Alaska trek is a real reward. If you enjoyed this short wildlife peek, please like and share!
