Hoary marmots can often be seen wrestling each other up on Mount Rainier in Washington. It’s more of a social interaction than anything else among younger marmots. I took this one quite a few years ago on a trip to several of National Parks in the Pacific Northwest. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 260mm) ISO 200, f/5.6 at 1/1000th of a second.

i don’t know, looks more like ballroom dancing
I’ve observed many a marmot in the High Sierras of CA. This is an excellent “action” shot!
Thanks Sue. Yes, I wish there was a place around here where I could reliably go look for these guys.
