Yogic Marmot.

He or she is ready for winter. Once winter arrives, alpine marmots will huddle next to each other and begin hibernation, a process which lowers their heart rate to five beats per minute and breathing to 1–3 breaths per minute, which uses up their stored fat supplies slowly, and usually allows them to survive the winter.

Plunge your hands into this alpine fur coat!

P.S. failed to get up the Dents du Morcles today, it started to rain at the Col de Fenestral and the hut is being rebuilt so no tea either. Seeing a whole colony of marmots collecting dry grass for the winter was a lovely prize!
