Marmots exhibit dramatic fear responses when threatened by predators or humans, which appears as a 'survival glitch' in their behavior; however, marmots living near popular hiking trails can become habituated to humans, losing their natural fear and instead approaching people to beg for food.

Why do marmots always look so dramatic
Added:This wild marmot isn't posing for the camera. He's actually experiencing [music] a massive survival glitch.
Marmots are basically walking protein bars for predators in the wild. So, [music] when they get caught out in the open by a giant human, their brain completely shorts out with panic.
[music] But, if you see one acting completely chill and begging for snacks, don't worry. Some of these guys live near popular hiking trails and have basically become spoiled [music] tourist pets. So, if he isn't frozen in terror, bro is just waiting for a handout.
