Hello Birdman,
your yellowbellied marmot shot is a beautiful
animal-portrait.
they have relatives in swiss mountains: Murmeltiere
(or "Murmeli" in swiss-german).
Also called Mungg in Central Switzerland Engelberger dialect

And they have other cousins in the Pyrennées (between France and spain)

Here in Ontario we have a winter custom: if the tame
groundhog comes out of his burrow and sees it's
shadow, there will be several more weeks of winter.
your amazing Leitz 560mm Telyt is one sharp glass!

greetings Otto

The Yellow-bellied Marmot (Marmota flaviventris),
basically a large ground
squirrel, is a common sight in the western
mountains, where it can be found
grazing on veggies, basking on rocks or logs, and
when alarmed gives a
shrill whistle earning them the name "whistle pig". Other North American
marmots include the Hoary Marmot of the northwest
and Alaska, and the
Ground Hog in the eastern part of the continent.
