It’s known that the marmots(土拨鼠) are very shy around humans, beating their tails and making loud noise with their teeth to tell other members of their colony to run away.

But when these marmots see Matteo Walch, they run to his side and show him nothing but affection(喜爱).

The eight-year-old Matteo Walch built up a great relationship with the creatures since first being taken to see them by his nature-loving family four years ago.

The family return to visit these marmots in Groslocker in the Austrian Alps(阿尔卑斯山) for two weeks every year.

Matteo loves those animals and they are not at all afraid of Matteo because he has a feeling towards them and they understand that.

Marmots stand at around 18cm tall and can reach up to 50cm in length. Strangely, the animals are heavier in autumn, when they can weigh up to 8kg, but 3kg in the spring months.

Michael, a teacher from Innsbruck, Austria, has taken lots of photos of Matteo and his marmot friends during the past four years.

He said,“I could spend several hours watching animals. It’s great that I have been able to document the marmot’s natural behavior around Matteo without making them afraid of me and my camera, I wanted to capture(用影片文字等记录…的原样) the animals exactly the way I see them ---the way they behave among each other.”

从照片上很清楚地看出,马蒂奥和土拨鼠彼此相处得很好。
