Marmots, one of mother nature's lesser-known creatures, are in the same genus as the ground squirrel. I think of them as large, pudgy squirrels that feed on grasses, flowers and berries in mountainous regions. According to the sign, marmots come in two different sizes: strangely large and freakishly huge. Of their typical behaviors, they seem to enjoy sitting on large rocks and mocking passers-by.
Therefore, when in Rome... do as the marmots:

I saw a car with a "nice marmot" bumper sticker the other day. I realized I did not even know what one looked like. Now I do. Thanks!
It would seem that marmots have a deadly inclination to play "chicken" across mountain highways when they hear the sound of four-rubber-wheeled creatures roaring in the distance. Hence, we see yellow-diamond warning signs for their protection. I wonder how many dearly departed marmots it took before CDOT felt the need to warn drivers of their propensity?
