Summit Marmot

We shared the summit of Culebra with this marmot, he didn't seem to care we were there.

It's funny,

in the Alps marmots are generally shy and hard to get a photo of (except for a single colony near Saas-Fee)! American marmots seem to be much less shy. Why?

Re: It's funny,

I'm not sure, similiar animals like Pikas are very shy. Some marmots do keep their distance but I think this one didn't see us as a threat.
