The Alaska marmot (''Marmota broweri''), also known as the Brooks Range marmot〔 or the Brower's marmot,〔 is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in the scree slopes of the Brooks Range, Alaska. They eat grass, flowering plants, berries, roots, moss, and lichen.〔 These marmots range from about 54 cm to 65 cm in length and 2.5 kg to 4 kg in weight.〔 Alaska celebrates every February 2 as "Marmot Day," a holiday intended to observe the prevalence of marmots in that state and take the place of Groundhog Day.〔The Associated Press. ("Alaska to celebrate its first Marmot Day," ) Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Feb. 1, 2010. Accessed Feb. 1, 2010.〕 ==Etymology== Originally ''Marmota broweri'' was perceived as a synonym for ''M. caligata'', but this was soon proven false when evidence was found that corroborated ''M. broweri'' as a unique species. Cytochrome b sequences were used to verify that ''M. broweri'' as its own distinct species.〔
