what You’re About To See Happen Between This Little Boy And Animals Is Unbelievable. WOW.

Marmots are, basically, shy and over-grown squirrels. There are 15 different species of the large ground squirrels, and they mainly live in mountainous regions. They’re perky and sociable with each other, but when it comes to humans, they tend to steer clear.

That is, at least, until they met this young boy. Matteo Walsh and his family stumbled upon a group of the animals while on a family vacation to the Alps, and instant friendship was struck.



#1. When the alpine marmots see Matteo, they rush to greet him instead of batting their tails on the ground like they would do to scare off other humans.

#2. After discovering the connection when he was only 4 years old, his family began making yearly trips so he could visit his furry friends.
