If you are in Campbell River, watch for a 'lost' Vancouver Island marmot. They are an endangered species and this little one needs to be relocated to its natural habitat in the alpine.

@giflian Thank you so much for donating to the Marmot Recovery Foundation. Without them, the species would be extinct today. There are about 420 marmots in the wild today compared to about 24 in the late 1990s.

@CatherineBabault the funny bit is I only heard of them because they sent some very silly blank Christmas cards to my mother (one of those swag-to-get-more-donations campaigns charities sometimes run) and that got forwarded to me when I was dealing with her estate.
