One year ago I had posted two images of Alpine marmots (see: zafoid.com/post/view/10265) in this Nature group. Here's another two super cute images of Alpine marmots, this time around both specifically from the Austrian Alpine region.
A BBC wildlife crew captures on film a pack of wild dogs who took care of one of their own who had lost a leg in a poacher's trap, by running just a little bit slower such that their three-legged member could keep up with them, and by letting said member eat from their hunting kills. The three-legged dog reciprocates by looking after the pack's cubs and being extra vigilant in respect to the cubs' safety.
