Hello! Let's talk about marmots and why they are always on the alert. Imagine you are playing outside, and you need to be careful so no one surprises you. Marmots do the same in nature.
A marmot is a fluffy animal that lives in the mountains. It is important for marmots to stay on alert, which means they are carefully watching and listening for any signs of danger, like a big bird or a wild animal that might want to catch them.
When a marmot sees or hears something scary, it quickly sounds a special whistle or makes a loud noise to warn the other marmots. Then, they all hide safely in their burrows or holes in the ground until the danger goes away.
So, being on alert helps marmots stay safe and take care of each other. Isn't it amazing how animals look out for their friends?
