There are fifteen different species of marmot in the world. This one is a hoary marmot and it is native to the Pacific northwest. I was hiking in Rainier National Park in Washington when I came across a bunch of these guys scattered throughout the alpine wildflowers. Enjoy the long weekend. I’m off to Colorado and will be back on Tuesday — hopefully with some new creatures to share.

Aw. Looks like he is trying to make a moustache disguise!
I am so amazed at how you get these shots.
Would like to have one in my garden. 😉
Theyre are so cute. Do you know if they can be domesticated? seems like a much nicer pet than a guinea pig
