Ground squirrel?

 

[sage™]

baby porcupine ?

 

[Buck]

Not a porcupine.

Not a ground squirrel (a necessary component for squirrel burgers).

Not a ground squirrel (a necessary component for squirrel burgers).

Moreso than beef is a requirement for a MacDonald hamburger?

How about a mean looking gopher, or groundhog, or woodchuck?

 

[Buck]

None of the above, pacanis.

 

[pacanis]

I know.... it's a "rodent"

 

[pacanis]

muskrat????

 

[jeninga75]

'Tis a marmot.

 

[Buck]

'Tis a marmot.

And canst thou tell us just what flavor of marmot it might be?

 

[jeninga75]

Perhaps an Alaskan or Hoary Marmot? Maybe a Black-capped or a Yellow-bellied Marmot....

By he way... How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 

[phinz]

Black-capped

That's what it looks like to me.

 

[Buck]

No to all marmot types so far.

Think "high living"

 

[miniman]

Alpine marmot?

 

[jeninga75]

Either an Alpine or Himalayan then.

 

[Buck]

DING DING DING

Himalayan it is!!!!

Aren't you proud of yourself?

You're up, jenninga.

 

[jeninga75]

Lol... I was just suprised I knew it was a marmot without looking it up. I'm such a discovery channel nerd

Anyway, had one ready in case I got this one right so here we go. This is either going to be increadibly easy or just as hard. I know whose gonna get it right off the bat if anyone does tho

What is this place?

 

[Buck]

Is it in Hawaii?

 

[jeninga75]

No Buck, none of the Hawaiian Islands.

I take it that north would be up in that picture?

Some sort of volcanic formation, right?

Yes, north is up. I manually took this shot from Google Earth. I'm not really looking for what that formation is, just what this location is on a bigger scale. Like if I were to show you Stonehenge, I wouldn't want Stonehenge, but I would want England.
