<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-bellied_Marmot">Marmots</a> are a common resident in the Sierra. We saw several on this trip to the SF San Joaquin. This one just made a poor choice of hiding spots in a crack in a small boulder. It could not squish any further down into the crack and was forced to hold still while I took pictures. In some areas, such as Mineral King in Sequoia Park, marmots are notorious for chewing on the wires and hoses in automobile engine compartments. I have not heard of that problem in this area, but you never know when they might get a hankering! |
