Description: Deep in the alpine meadows of a single Canadian island lives one of the rarest mammals on Earth. This richly detailed portrait explores the biology, behavior, and precarious future of the Vancouver Island marmot, from its high-elevation burrows and tight-knit colonies to the long winter sleep that defines its year. Along the way, readers discover the ambitious conservation efforts fighting to bring the species back from the edge of extinction, and learn how to observe these charismatic creatures without disturbing the fragile world they call home.
