This is the story of the Mongolian Marmot and its unique place in both past and present Mongolian culture. Today, the marmots in Mongolia are threatened by over-hunting and habitat destruction and the loss of this species would cause devastation across the entire ecosystems they support. 'The Mongolian Marmot' features Mongolians from all walks of life- from nomadic herders to young biologists- to tell unique and fascinating cultural importance and natural history of the Mongolian Marmot.
