Young marmots playing on a boulder next to the Cub Lake Trail in late May.
Marmots can be very photogenic. They will often sit still as though posing for a camera on highly visible rocks in the bright sunshine. Their posture and facial expressions at times look almost human.
This old marmot appears to be looking inquisitively over its shoulder, possibly at a passing hiker taking a photograph.
