Furry Marmot Joining Hiker for Morning Coffee Is So Delightful

A marmot is a type of large ground squirrel usually found in alpine meadows and rocky slopes. They are herbivores and harmless to humans, and judging from the video posted by TikTok user @Maddy_pilon, they are curious and seem like a pretty great breakfast companion.

Awwww! We love how he just comes running when he sees her! TikTok users are charmed by this little guy, and @Brittany comments, "the little run in the beginning be like "I'm coming! don't start without me!" @Pink adds, "He saw y’all from across the rocks and went YESSSSS HOOMANS!!" @Lulu has a great idea and suggests, "Although they may take up room in your pack, A small bag of mini carrots could never go amiss. *cronch cronch*" We have to remember to bring carrots with us everywhere! @Stephanie replies, "AWW...a rock puppy!" @Abbie hilariously says, "I have no self control I would put him in my bag and take him home."

Nature is so cool. One minute you're done with your hike and enjoying your morning coffee, the next your being greeted by some fat species of squirrel who seems just as fascinated of you as you are of him. That's a moment this hiker will never forget!
