Marmota flaviventris

Aww, look at 'im....

This be a Yellow-Bellied Marmot named Leroy. He lives around camp and makes appearances once in a while. Marmots (and their brothers the woodchucks) are actually ground squirrels, just giant. They lie out on the rocks like this after they eat because the warmth of the granite helps them digest their food.

Super cute!
