A Yellow Belly Marmot pauses before disappearing into his underground home. I have never seen a Marmot in our area. This one was in Utah. They are big for a rodent, about the size of a large cat and very shy around people, always on the lookout for a place to hide.
I don't think I've ever seen a marmot in the wild.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a big, furry rat! I've never seen one before. You got some wonderful shots here before he disappeared into that hole! I'd guess his teeth are quite sharp!
ReplyDeleteI have seen marmots in Colorado, but not Arizona.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this photo. I remember seeing these guys camping in northern California a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've ever seen one.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've ever seen one either but next time I'm in California I'll be on the lookout for them camping out! ☺
ReplyDeleteYes, they certainly are "cute" but I'm not overly fond of rodents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic spotting and great shot, Judy! Lucky you! :-)
