He may have been licking the salt that comes from sweating. A lot of animals in America like what we call, a salt lick, which is a block of salt. It's basically like a human drinking a bottle of electrolytes to replenish strength & quench thirst. We all need each other in some capacity, just like this man. 😊😊😊 Merci beaucoup! ❤

I'd say, the Marmot was licking the salt from his sweat off his face from the hike there.

[@Larry-r7p4m]

You would be exactly right.

This cute little guy is friendly and doesn't get scared of human, it might be rescued by human before. It's so cute and lovely. The man had an awesome experience.

Smiling from ear to ear so adorable 🙃

I am always addicted to such videos, this brings me joy and happiness

[@Just_Pele]

It might have been raised by rescuers then released back, that's what happened with the racoon who lives under our deck. We wondered why she was so friendly and the wildlife people told us we could see if she had a chip, so we scanned her and she did. She had been released into the wild just a year before she took-up residence with us. So since she wasn't going anywhere I made a shelter for her, and last year she had babies and brought them to us to show them off.

Two ways that marmots are cuddly are their appearance (So much collagen!) And, the fact that these loving creatures are warm and welcoming! 💚

[@bonniesiegel9024]

I agree, the Marmot was licking the salt off this young man's face. Super Cute!🐹❤☺

[@Mama-Ames]

With the exception of interacting with & creating beautiful memories with our children, I can think of no other moments in life that are more joyful, are more simply wonderful, or are more satisfying & memorable than our interactions with animals... ESPECIALLY with our beloved pets, who are OFTEN thought of & literally feel as tho they ACTUALLY ARE... our children.💗🤗💗 Animals are such dear loves.💗 Thank You dear Father in heaven for blessing us with the animals of the world. Thank You for blessing us with ALL of your most magnificent creation.💗🙏💗

Mein erster Gedanke als es anfing Ihn abzulecken war wegen dem Salz. Fast jedes Lebewesen braucht Salz , vielleicht sogar alle,da bin ich überfragt.Das Kind hat sich das geholt was es auch braucht und Glück gehabt auf so liebenswerte Menschen zu stoßen. Wirklich schön, da macht mein Herz Luftsprünge 😊😂

I wonder if this marmot was attracted to the salt present on human skin and sweat because it might have been deficient in salt and was seeking to re-mineralize itself... 🤔

although a most beautiful and awesome experience that I would also love to have happen to me also, I would worry that any wild animal may carry rabies which is spread through their saliva (even though he wasn't bitten, it was risky to let him lick his face).But this was wonderful to see 😊

"you should never feed wildlife" but you SHOULD let them climb on your face & lick you 😒 The point of not feeding wildlife is so you don't habituate them to people. I'd say that ship has sailed, give the poor critter a few nuts & berries ffs
