In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see these images recorded on video of the moment in which a couple of marmots kiss in a mountain meadow in Ulldeter, in the Girona Pyrenees.
Groundhogs enjoy socializing with each other. Regardless of age, they groom each other and greet each other by rubbing noses.
Of course, although they are sociable with other members of the family, they tend to be very fierce against predators and other strangers that invade their territory.
Groundhogs prefer an open habitat that allows them to spot predators from a distance and run for cover.
These animals live in a family structure. A family can have between 10 and 20 young, which live with their parents until maturity.
