One burly creature...

This guy's made for digging. He looked like a living 4X4. This marmot spent alot of time picking up small rocks in his mouth then spiting them back out. My guess he was extracting the salt... 7/6/07

Watch Out

I've seen a few marmots, but this guy's nasty.

Re: Watch Out

Yeah, on summit day (Sahale Peak) I couldn't stop thinking I was going to get back to camp to find all my gear shreaded into small pcs.
I took the food with me and he left the camp alone.
