Have you ever had such a sweet interaction with a wild animal? 🐾

I dont know if I'd call 'my' birds wild anymore..although the species I'm referring to dont tend to physically interact with humans. We have 2 famies of blue fairy wrens where I am...one of the females has a liking for me as she understands I fill those fresh cool bowls of water in summer for them..I make it never gets hot where they cant drink it on those 36 to 43C days etc. Sometimes I can be sitting having a coffee and she lands on my knee for a chat...I never touch her..we just have a chat and I always check whats going on with the water when she goes again.... We've got local magpies who love us as well..I made a lot of suitable bowls that sit on the ground..from concrete ..sealed properly and the birds that wont drink from higher containers dont have to go out in the heat to access water.

My cats will do this too, licking me after I pet them. My horses will groom me back too, although horses groom by nibbling, and once the teeth come into play I have to call a halt.

Normally the instinct of an animal is to run from a human cause humans are vicious and brutal, humans normally don't come around most likely

I've observed more than once, young animals in isolated places having no fear of humans. It can even happen with adult animals if they've never had contact with humans. There's an island where bears live that have absolutely no fear, or aggression toward people. I saw a documentary about the place. It was amazing. I'm glad they kept its location a secret.

I sat down for a cathartic cry. A huge red tabby walked out of the brush and just in my lap and purred loudly, nuzzled my hand for pets, I eventually calmed down. Pet the cat for a little while.

Yeah, it makes me wonder if he was someone's pet at one time. Or a rescue that was cared for and released back into the wild. Because it definitely seems like this animal is familiar with people and feels safe around them.

Thank you so much for sharing, you had an incredible experience and memories! What an amazing animal she is, now you have to visit her you got a friend♥

What a dear unafraid creature ! Unafraid and affectionate how lovely how humans and animals were meant to be !

This fella was her flavor of the day! Perfect timing for such a gentle interaction.

Wonderful! She probably had had no trauma related to humans. She felt safe. So cute! Thanks for sharing this beautiful interaction.❤

Aww so cute ! This is how we're made - to propagate love, kindness and concern for other forms of existence as well❤..

What a sweet little honey bun ! You will have to start a new trend called the " Marmot Face Wash " LOL!

That was so sweet, and the man really understood that she needed the salt. Lovely interaction.

No sweet, sweat yes, and salty 😁

Wow, that was a lovely way to start my day, it's so beautiful to see a wild floofy not being afraid of humans, and that they acted perfectly, instead of getting over excited like most people would 😀

What a sweet video that reminds us how Good put us in charge to care for and protect all the beautiful animals He created for us.

I love this! Thank you for sharing!!

Oh my goodness what an utterly incredible and amazing moment and total honour! Such a precious sweetheart 😌💕 I pray no harm ever comes to her when she encounters other humans in the wild given how fearless and friendly she is because unfortunately not every human is as gentle and kind as these

YT put this on my feed a year after you posted, but it feels good to comment anyway. Puppy woke me at 145 am...lol. Nice to see humans aren't making war or destroying earth for now. Bravo young man from arizona!!

How awesome to be chosen for an exclusive marmot tongue facial! 😂

She’s so clever and beautiful she’ll definitely support herself!! In awe what a treasured moment Uk 🇬🇧 😮😊😂❤

So wonderful that she encountered the right person who knew how to interact with her for both safety and not be tempted to feed her.

Spoiler alert, it's been fed before...

I am 67 years old. When i was 17 and my sister was 13, my father took us on a challenging back packing trip. Mount Whitney in southern california 14495 ft altitude. It required 2/3 day to reach 13000 base camp. The second day, my father and sister stayed at base camp. My friend jennifer and i summeted the next day by 1:30. Two things happened. My sister befriended a marmot that day as well! After she shared some cookies with it, it showed its appreciation by rewarding her with a wallet that it had hidden in its den! And, on our way back to base camp we came past a young lady ill equipped. She wore a thin cardigan sweater and oxford shoes. We insisted she join us back down as the waters across the trail were beginning to freeze near sunset. As it turned out, she was glad to have joined us. Her compatriots, who had left her while they summited, never returned for her that night. Also, jennifer contacted the wallet owner and was able to return it to him. He had been there a week before us and was grateful! Thanks for awakening a good memory! Ev

That’s wild about the wallet!!

It is licking the salt off your skin from your skin . Sooo cute .

Marmoth and that mountain only remind me of 1 thing 😂😂😂 Haaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgghhh~~~

Wild animals may be dangerous, but seriously who could resist. Sweetest thing ever😊

What a wonderful gift♥ Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome. I went hiking Saturday with my girlfriend and came 1 yard from a groundhog and 3 baby rabbits and about 10 yards from around 10 deer. 2 herds of 3 to 4 and the rest were lone

What an honour and privilege to have a wild animal interact with you like that. I’d prefer to have a good close encounter with a wild animal than meeting a famous person, the animal interaction would by far supersede any human contact (unless it was with David Attenborough - he has the ability to make you feel like you are there with him when he narrates stories and information) I had a wild fox come and climb into my car with me once, that was a thrill!!

I don’t know why that little Marmot did what it did, 🤷🏾‍♂️ but that has to be one of the sweetest interactions that I have ever witnessed on video. Wow ! And that is a once in a lifetime experience. 🥰😍

The marmot is trying to get the salt that collects on your skin from the mans sweat. It happens all the time with a lot of different animals.

@@Montina_Paullin I honestly never knew this, but I have never seen this behavior before. I mean, sure & I’ve seen animals attack humans before, but to simply lick the salt off of a humans face 🥰 that is just too cute, but I haven’t seen that before & the raccoons or possums in my area would not try that and the deers in my area don’t even come close to us humans 😳 or the grounds hogs or rabbits

If humans could see humans the way other mammals see humans, we'd love each other so much more and be happy.

At Mt. Rainier while taking a lil cat nap i was awoken to 2 marmots trying to snuggle with me once. 😂

I was hiking in the Rockies once and a family of marmots came up to watch us. I think they must be intelligent and curious creatures. I appreciate this video and your kindness. May these sweet and charming animals continue to bless this planet.

That was lovely, and so charming to watch. You are not the average salt-lick, but she seemed happy enough to replenish her salt/mineral levels in such a unique and loving way. She is a beautiful creature, and you have a life memory captured as it happened. Thanks for sharing.🖤🇨🇦
