Nature of Marmots
Alpine marmots are shy around humans. They beat their tails and chatter their teeth to warn us off before emitting loud whistles to tell other members of their colony to flee.
This eight-year-old kid built up a strong relationship with these creatures since his nature-loving family took him to that place four years ago.
‘He loves those animals and they are not at all afraid of Matteo because he has a feeling towards them and they understand that. We go there every year now for two weeks – it’s amazing to watch the connection between a boy and his animal friends.’
