Alpine marmots are probably one of the most timid animals, they run away from the man, as soon as they see. But when the student from Australia came to see them, they gathered around him and did not show anything but friendly. Mateo (the name of the boy) first met the clan gophers 4 years ago, when he came to his birthday party to his parents in the Alps. Now he returns to them every year, and they cordially greeted him.
