Thieving Marmot


Marmot Theft
Originally uploaded by stshank
This marmot stole my trekking pole, presumably because of the salt in the sweaty strap, while I was in the White Chief Mine taking pictures. I ran out and chased him. He only lost the pole because it wouldn't go down his hole.

In Mineral King part of Sequoia National Park.
