Nice shot!No, pikas are much smaller (and cuter) and related to rabbits. Marmots are related to ground squirrels and are much larger than pikas. Both prefer rocky hillsides, but picas are usually not found below about 8.000'.Yellow-bellied MarmotArt 3 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1179 – September 17, 2020, 04:26:29 pm "...is a pika and a marmot the same critter?"The pika is in decline in the Sierra Nevada range and are to be seen less and less over the past few years. They draw a 'Get out of Jail' card from me!The Marmot on the other hand, akin to the Eastern Groundhog, does not! They are abundant in the Sierra and make fine targets.

The G.I.s always kept a pet Mongoose in their tents... the snake always lost the contest!

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1191 – September 17, 2020, 07:15:10 pm Mongooses (mongeese?) are mean little critters. A similar story to what Steve mentioned, I remember when I was a kid and we were stationed at Kadena, Okinawa (Air Force brat). My Dad took my brother and me to some local island entertainment, an Okinawan Habu snake vs. a mongoose fight. As Steve indicated, the mongoose usually won the battle. Quite a shocking event to witness as a 5th grader.Warning, graphic video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b40x4E36NH8&has_verified=1 3 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1193 – September 17, 2020, 08:47:28 pm I was thinking meerkat given Bill's other photo-ops. But I looked at the range of meerkats (mainly Southern Africa) in dry areas, mongoose (pl mongooses) more widely dispersed in multiple environments.Picture looks like meerkat range. Meerkats have binocular vision, mongooses do not. The way they are watching, they look focused. I'd say meerkat on a 60:40 vote 2 Likes
