I heard they were breaking into cars in the Chilliwak area and stealing stuff to support their meth habits!

... 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.

 

But the population will crash again when they all develop Type-2 Diabetes.
