European marmot (Marmota marmota) eating carrot

European marmot (*Marmota marmota*) stands on its hind legs, holding a carrot with its front paws. The marmot's fur is thick and brown, with a lighter underbelly. It is surrounded by green grass and sparse vegetation. A piece of weathered wood lies nearby on the earthy ground. The scene is naturalistic, likely in a wild or semi-wild setting.
