5.0 out of 5 stars Marmots are Cute, January 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Marmots: Social Behavior and Ecology (Hardcover)

This book is excellent--I love the cute little marmots. I'm going to get one as a pet after reading this book. It's also very informative and well-written, but the main thing is the cute marmot babies in the pictures. Buy this book!
