Dirty and hungry: marmots in Tatarstan have emerged from hibernation after six months of sleep.
Ground squirrels are true record holders for the duration of winter sleep. They enter hibernation from the end of August and spend more than six months underground. Finally, in the Bugulminsky district of Tatarstan, the first awakened animals have been spotted, reported the press service of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Bioresources. After a long hibernation, ground squirrels emerge from their burrows dirty and unkempt. Their first task is to tidy themselves up, then they look for last year's grass and begin preparing their home for the new season. They gradually come to the surface, enjoying the warmth of the spring sun.
