They're NOT squirels ;D

This was taken last July long weekend at a place called Manning Park. Two hour drive from Vancouver.

Those marmots are cute. It looks better than I thought.

Well, in reference, this one is a squirrel:

Nice set Jun, very cute animals. Looks like these are prairie creatures.

Is this a Marmont, too? Shot it in Alaska few months back. Noisy little creature.

Affirmative Ding.
I think they are also called Whistlepig ;D ;D ;D, hence the noise. But I'm not 100% sure

Sorry for the typo but Ted is right. It's Marmot (no "n")

Marmots, squirrel, groundhog, prairie dog, etc .... they're all rodents to me. LOL. ;D

They're all cute, fluffy, cuddly, friendly-looking creatures ... until they bug you.

As we Canadians would say "They're all rats, but with good PR" ;D ;D ;D

Well I live in a condo. I don't have to worry about my lawns having hundres of holes. Remember Caddyshack???
