I'm happy with this one. I call it precarious not only for the obvious reason but because the glaciers here will likely be gone in just a few years. The marmot's fate is less certain. They have adapted to thrive in this environment and hopefully they will be able to adapt again as the climate changes. Just another good reason to do what we can to slow the speed of climate change and give the plants and animals a chance to accommodate.
