Marmots here above tree line in Colorado! They are the size of a roly-poly small dog, and they have a habit of crawling into warm car engines at trailheads and chewing wires. Trail users are encouraged to park and then pop their hood, and leave vehicle's hood up, to discourage marmots from hanging out there.

Wow! I haven't heard that one. If they are the size of a small dog, they could do some chewing damage!

Yup, your coyote is really a gray fox. I'm very familiar with them. On one of my routes I know where they have a little "Fox City." They are very friendly and have gotten to know me. Adorable and smart.
