We've photographed some pretty fat groundhogs and we blame the 2011 La Niña and its pushing the jet stream above the CONUS, giving us a very mild winter thus not depleting their hibernation fat stores as much as usual.
When my brother and I used to hike a lot in the Sierras, we always referred to the Marmots as "fat cats". They always seemed fat to me; I never noticed any correlation to Winter severity vis a vis fat stores. Maybe they lived too close to the car campers.

ReplyDeleteWas your winter milder than normal?
Yes, very mild.
