“I’m not really into drama.” Also me when I hear my neighbors outside talking loudly. Should I stay or should I go? Dude. Did you know yellow-bellied marmots are rodents similar to squirrels, but bigger? They have grizzled brownish fur and a yellow belly, with a whitish spot between their eyes. Their ears are small and round and they have a short white muzzle with a black nose. Their bodies are heavy-set and they have short legs and a reddish-brown furry tail. Despite the low chassis, they can scurry along at a surprisingly rapid pace of 3 mph. Where’d it go? Yellow-bellied marmots are a bit short-sighted, but they have an excellent sense of hearing and smell, which enable it to find food, avoid predators, and snoop on their neighbors on the other side of the boulder. “What about Alan?” “Oh, it was Steve?” Image: A marmot stands alert at Mt.
