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!
