Meet the Chubby Duo - The Hibernation Experts!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by Andrey Zvoznikov, we are introduced to ANZ-1345, a Himalayan Marmot couple who are clearly ready for their long winter nap. These adorable adults have packed on some serious pounds in preparation for hibernation season! One of them can be seen munching on a shoot of wormwood, while the other curiously looks on. It seems like they're having a last-minute snack before retreating into their burrow in the Orenburg region's steppe. The bare soil surrounding their burrow is evidence of their hard work digging and enlarging it. This cozy underground home will soon become a hub for an entire family group of marmots. Native to South Russia, these bobak rodents thrive in grasslands and steppes. They've truly mastered the art of feeding and eating as they fatten up for winter. With their plump figures and cheeky expressions, these marmots could easily win any "Cutest Couple" contest! Their dedication to preparing for hibernation is both impressive and amusing. So next time you find yourself feeling guilty about indulging in some extra snacks during colder months, just remember our chubby duo here - they've got it all figured out!
