Yellow-bellied Marmots




Currently at WRCNU we have a trio of Yellow-bellied Marmots - They've been lovingly named 'Stop, Drop, and Roll'. Don't ask me to tell which is which but they are incredibly adorable. I took some photos of them this morning while they were waiting for breakfast and got a hilarious shot of one of them barking. The marmots are a strange breed of creature - they sort of seem like a cross between a squirrel and a beaver..... a squeaver! These three were raised by people and aren't likely to be releasable, they really enjoy being scratched and loved. We'll probably find them a nice zoo to go to.
