I saw a marmot when I was in Yosemite. It didn't stand up though! I like the focus on this one, must be using a very nice lens.

Judging from the other pics I took at the same time, they looked like more of a marmot to me, although I've been wrong before. Thank you for the comment nonetheless

If you want to see what I mean, there are some good marmot pics on this DA person's site: [link]

Animals have personalities in photos. Or so I think they do.

I like photo because it was taken at the level of the animal and that's a really close to ground photo. Good job

I always try to put the animals in the best position to bring out their personality in photos. And that usually means getting down to their level if I can, and I'm glad that you liked it
