Marmot

There's something you don't see everyday. A medium-sized mammal strolling through my brother's back yard. I thought it was a beaver at first, but it didn't have the paddletail. It must have been a marmot. Wikipedia states that the marmot carried the bubonic plague, which makes it the most notorious killer of humans second only to the mosquito. So watch your back around these things!

Thomas, do you have the bubonic plague now? Soon YOU will be the most notorious killer of humans behind mosquitoes and marmots!
