Yellowed Bellied Marmots are a most curious animal. I think they spent as much time watching me as I did looking at them. This guy spent his afternoon lying on this rock without moving a muscle except to open an inquisitive eye towards me every now and then. I'm sure he's thinking the rock is soft. It sure doesn't like like it's soft.
