Observations: It is estimated that these animals live up to 15 years in the wild (Bernhard Grzimek 1990). Little is known about their longevity in captivity, though, with record longevity only 7.4 years (Richard Weigl 2005). Further studies are necessary.

Encyclopedic overview
The bobak marmot (Marmota bobak), also known as the steppe marmot, is a species of marmot that inhabits the steppes of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. It is a social animal and inhabits steppe grassland, including cultivated field borders. It hibernates for more than half the year. Litter sizes average about five offspring and it takes three years for the young marmots to reach sexual maturity. Male offspring leave the home colony after their second winter, and about 60% of mature females give birth in any one year.
