Climate change is creating "super marmots" that are bigger, stronger and do not need to hibernate for as long, a new study shows.

Scientists claim longer summers have led to marmots - which are ground-dwelling 'squirrels' - waking up earlier from hibernation, giving them more time to reproduce and gain weight before the next hibernation period.

The population is also increasing in size because marmots are reproducing earlier so their offspring is more likely to survive during winter.

I know the size of our black bears is increasing up here for some reason. They are supposed to be getting crabbier to. Lack of enough sleep makes everyone a little crabby
