The bill, introduced by Senator Linda Menard, said, "It made sense for the marmot to become Alaska's version of Punxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvania groundhog famed for his winter weather forecasts."

The status of Alaska marmots is not well known due to the difficulties in finding them in their natural habitats. According to IUCN, the Alaska marmot is considered to be of "least concern" status, signifying relatively low concern in terms of the dangers
