I respect this foto but hate it to shreds at the same time. It depicts the impending death of a marmot, doing everything it can to protect itself in the moment.
The foto is by Yongqing Bao, depicting a Tibetan fox vs a Himalayan marmot in China's Qilian Mountains.
For reference sake in the States, we usually associate "marmots" with groundhogs / whistlepigs / woodchucks, but what if I told you that there were well over a dozen of these chonky ground squirrels, globally?
