Thank you, Alan -
So, as I suspected, they are all marmotæ of one kind or another. Which reminds me of another question —
"How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck could chuck wood?"
. . . and Walt Kelly's less well known variation thereof —
"How much ground round would a ground-hog hog if a ground-hog hogged ground round?"
SFAIK, no-one has yet come up with a variation of the above using the name 'marmot'
