My friends took a photo of themselves on vacation in Canada and when they were clicking the photo a squirrel popped up and stole the scene. She uploaded it for a contest for National Geographic and from there it has gone super viral. Here is the photo being featured on Good Morning America today
When I worked at Lake Louise in Banff, we had two that hung around the staff cafeteria patio. We named them "Fatty McGee" and his cousin "Fats McGillicutty", because they were so stuffed from dropped french fries that they could barely move.
While I'm at it, please don't feed wildlife! You aren't doing them any favours.

since we have several types here in Canada we know what to call each one, its like calling all birds just a bird.

FYI a Marmot is also a kind of squirrel - Its a type of ground squirrel . Therefore it is not wrong for them to say it's a squirrel , coz it is :D

Amazing what some people can do with Photoshop. Also amazing that other people actually believe it's a real picture.

well, i've seen Marmots out west and this looks like a suirrel to me. Marmots are MUCH bigger than squirrels.
