 @47a45c5f The #Pika is cute but did you know that it re-eats its feces and that (depending on the species) eats the feces of other animals?

"Like rabbits, after eating they initially produce soft green feces, which they eat again to take in further nutrition before producing the final solid fecal pellets. Collared pikas have been known to store dead birds in their burrows for food during winter and eat the feces of other animals.[10]"

So, on the cute scale, the Marmot is still at the top of my list.  LOL!  😉 
 @6a2a52ad A lot of animals eat their or their babies' feces so there's that! I think marmots are precious, too.
