Marmots in Saas Fee

Today we went on a bus to Saas Fee, a mountain region in Switzerland. Then we went up a gondola and walked down a path. There we spotted some marmots. We slowly crept up to them and gave them peanuts. We fed two marmots and they were really friendly. One of them was hiding in it’s hole and when it finished it’s peanut, I would feed it another peanut by holding my hand out and it would slowly come out the hole, grab the peanut and go back in. Both of my brothers gave the marmot a kiss.

Marmots live high up in the mountains in Switzerland and they look like giant guinea pigs but way fluffier.
