#marmots

Here's a Vancouver Island marmot pup to start your week.

Young animals are curious and sometimes they get closer to the camera to the delight of photographers. Note that I used a telephoto lens for this photo of a wild marmot in a subalpine meadow on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Baby Vancouver Island marmot exploring its surroundings probably for the first time. They are born in the burrow and spend their first weeks underground. This little one came out of the burrow while mum was out collecting grass to refresh the bedding. (Photos from my archives)
