Natural to the alpine area around the glacier were these funny animals. We managed to see an adult and a baby. They are mammals and were about the size of small dogs. I believe they are known as large ground squirrels - could these be long lost relatives of our dear Squirrel?!!

They are so cute - not as cute as our Squirrel tho......and I bet they don't paint as well as she does!
