Offspring of the marmot

The offspring of the marmot are called pups. Marmots typically give birth to a litter of 2 to 5 pups after a gestation period of about 30 days. The pups are born blind and helpless, relying on their mother for warmth and nourishment. They begin to emerge from the burrow and explore their surroundings after a few weeks, eventually becoming independent as they grow.
