The Multiple Faces of the Marmot: Associations with the Plague, Hunting, and Cosmology in Mongolia. [PDF]
Mongolians have long known of the association between marmots and the plague. We examine their understanding of the marmot not only as a biological species that can harbour the plague, but also from a cosmological perspective as a chimerical being with ...
