I don't know why. I just get a kick out of that.
Encountered marmots all over the place when backpacking in the High Sierras.
They look all cute and cuddly in photos, but those suckers are *big*.
Surrounded by a half-dozen two-foot-tall rodents with large teeth, yelling at you while you're bent over collecting water in a canteen, twenty miles from anywhere, is a bit...unnerving.
Disappointing theists since 1968!
