Yet another animal I had never heard of, it’s amazing as humans just how little we know about our planet overall.

We saw quite a few of these at about 12,000 feet in Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday for the first time, and these 2 little guys were hamming it up for the shutterbugs.  I think that they are yellow-bellied Marmots, but I’m not a zoologist nor do I play one on TV.  But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night!
