My vote is prairie dogs.<BR/><BR/>But I do see the arguement for marmot. They look pretty large in that picture. Although... not THAT large. ;)Chetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-69074539941706852292008-05-01T13:13:00.000-07:002008-05-01T13:13:00.000-07:00Technically we are both right:<BR/>Class: Mammalia<BR/>Order: Rodentia<BR/>Suborder: Sciuromorpha<BR/>Family: Sciuridae<BR/>Tribe: Marmotini<BR/><BR/>Prairie Dogs ARE members of the marmot tribe, and we are quibbling over the genus:<BR/>Genus: Cynomys, versus:<BR/>Genus: Marmota<BR/>I still think they are genus marmota in that picture<BR/>They look to be too big to be prairie dogs.<BR/>BTW, I live in Alberta, where we see both, not to mention Richardson's Ground Squirrels, often confused with prairie dogs as well.<BR/>In any case, they are rodents..Mauricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04072277667655279122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11787852.post-35708481379053890312008-05-01T12:34:00.000-07:002008-05-01T12:34:00.000-07:00Definitely NOT a marmot, Maurice.

He would always try and copy me and "mash" my keyboard while I was doing stuff. I found a spare unplugged keyboard and put it in front of him. Loved it, both of us happy.
