"Look lady, I don't know what to tell you. I'm just NOT a beaver."

Yellow-Bellied Marmot (Marmota flaviventris) on the shores of Tioga Lake, the eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park, at 3,000 meters of elevation (just below 10,000 ft.).

"The yellow-bellied marmot lives in the western United States and southwestern Canada, including the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. It inhabits steppes, meadows, talus fields and other open habitats, sometimes on the edge of deciduous or coniferous forests, and typically above 6,500 feet (2,000 m) of elevation. Their territory is about 4 to 7 acres (2 to 3 ha) around a number of summer burrows. Marmots choose to dig burrows under rocks because predators are less likely to see their burrow. Predators include wolves, foxes, coyotes, and humans and dogs. When a marmot sees a predator, it whistles to warn all other marmots in the area (giving it the nickname "whistle pig"). Then it typically hides in a nearby rock pile." (Wikipedia)
