ON THE BACK OF THE CARD IS FRENCH TEXT
The marmot is rodent quadruped of the genus Arctomys; a bear-mouse, ground-hog, or woodchuck.
There are several species, of Europe, Asia, and North America: they are the largest living representatives
of the Sciurid, or squirrel family, of stout thickset form, with short bushy tail. They are terrestrial and fossorial,
living in underground burrows, generally in open ground and often in communities, and hibernate in winter.
The species to which the name was originally given is Arctomys marmotta or A. alpinus. inhabiting the Alps
Pyrenees. A. bobac is the Asiatic marmot, occurring also in parts of Europe, especially in Russia.
