Fat Marmot Week Brings Cuteness & Science | Denver News

Colorado’s gone wild for marmots with “Fat Marmot Week,” a cheeky, internet-fueled celebration of the chonkiest yellow-bellied critters around. Researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory are using an OnlyFans page called OnlyMarms to fund their work — and it’s already raking in over $6K thanks to fans obsessed with these fuzzy, G-rated furballs. The bracket-style tournament kicks off Monday, with voting open via sites.google.com/view/fatmarmotweek, crowning a grand champion on Saturday. Eight contenders — including Stonehenge (biker-hater) and Dawn (rock-eater) — battle for title and bragging rights, while a local brewery drops a special IPA to help fund the cause. It’s science, cuteness, and chaos — all in one furry package. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
