Oh! Hey! Didn't see you there. Did you know national parks are home to some of the most unique and diverse wildlife species? For example, Olympic National Park protects a rare, endemic species: the Olympic marmot! Found only in the park, this adorable ground squirrel thrives in its high meadows. They are among the most social mammals, nuzzling, playing, and feeding together. #FunFact: some people call them "rock chucks" or "whistle pigs!" #WildlifeWednesday #NationalParks #OlympicMarmot #WildlifeConservation #OlympicNationalPark #Biodiversity #ProtectOurParks #Wildlife #Olympic #NPS #Washington 📸: NationalParkService Images: Olympic marmots in Olympic_NPS
