SHANGRALA'S

MATTEO AND THE MARMOTS!

      Friends come in all shapes and sizes. Matteo Walch has been traveling with his family to Groslocker in the Austrian Alps for two weeks every year. It was at that young age that Matteo began forming his unusual bond with the mountain marmots.

      Usually when marmots encounter humans, the animals will chatter their teeth as a warning to stay away. If a human doesn't back down, the marmots will let out a loud whistle to let others in the colony know that they should flee. When Matteo arrives, there are no chatterings or whistles of warning. Instead, the marmots eagerly approach him.

      The animals show affection for the boy, letting him feed them and play with them without hesitation. Matteo's father, Michaela, has taken photos of his son's encounters with the animals since their first trip to the Alps. Michaela thinks his child is an exception to the marmot's skittishness. "He loves those animals and they are not at all afraid of Matteo because he has a feeling towards them and they understand that."

      A nature lover himself, Michaela adores watching Matteo form a close connection with the animals. This bond is not only touching to observe, but allows Michaela to capture pictures of the creatures exhibiting natural behaviors without fear.
