Description
This image represents a marmot, the largest member of the squirrel family, which is commonly found in the Rocky Mountains, among other mountainous regions of the world. These mammals are regularly studied by researchers at the internationally known Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado. The black markings on its back are not part of its natural coloration but are placed there by the scientists in order that they may recognize their research subjects from a distance. (The marking material is of a "natural," non-toxic substance.)

That is stunning! Looks like a photo with the focus on the eye and everything else fading into the background. The 60 inch print would be amazing in the right spot!
