Vancouver Island Marmots at the Calgary Zoo

The Vancouver Island Marmot is Canada's most endangered animal with less than 200 estimated to live in the wild. However, the Calgary Zoo along with other Canadian institutions have been successfully breed the species back from the brink of extinction when only 30 were estimated to live in the wild in 2003.

Set em free just across from the island too.. habitat should be similar. I love this species, they look so different from most others. Next in line in cuteness are the ones everyone filming in Himalaya area of Pakistan. They look like teddy bears!
