Meet the "Whistle Pigs" of Mount Rainier! 🏔️🐿️ #shorts

Tracking down some of the coolest high-altitude residents at Mount Rainier National Park! 🏔️✨ ​In this clip, we spotted a couple of Hoary Marmots (fondly known as "Whistle Pigs" for the loud warning whistles they make) busy eating through the subalpine meadows. They hibernate for up to 8 months a year, so summer is a non-stop buffet! You'll also spot a quick cameo from a Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel soaking up the sun on a boulder, all with an incredible backdrop of Washington's famous volcano. Welcome to Echo Earth Track!
