The Alaska marmot (Marmota broweri), also known as the Brooks Range marmot or the Brower's marmot, is a species of marmot in the family Sciuridae. It can only be found in the mountainsides of Alaska, within the United States, usually near lakes. The rodent lives in large colonies and hibernates in the winter, like other marmots.
The Alaskan goverment has designated February 2 as "Marmot Day", a holiday intended to recognize the prevalence of marmots in the state (similar to the American holiday Groundhog Day). It was once considered to be the same species as the hoary marmot (Marmota caligata).
