This is a mountain #marmot. If you've ever been in the deep wilderness in high country then you know about these overgrown, husky, sexy rats with fur. Guard your socks and undergarments! These weirdos love eating them and don't care so much for human food. And they bark at you like groundhogs all day. I will say that I've taken a liking to the little monsters even though they've stolen my socks on two separate occasions. They're pretty much fat beavers who can run really fast on cliffs and rocks, well, and they're fat sexy rats with fur. #backcountry #goatworthy #colorado #coloradical #colorfulrado #colorado14ers #coloradotography #coloradoinstagram #coloradocameraclub #vsco #wanderlust #wildnerness #adventure #radventure #getlost #getoutdoors #themountainsarecalling #theroadwesttravelled #westelkproject #betheadventure #exploremore #verticaltherapy #neverstopexploring #rockymountains #rockymountaintography #bestofcolorado #liveauthentic #socality by its_dr_bob
