Alpine marmots are shy creatures and usually run away from humans. But when this schoolboy from Austria comes to visit them, they gather around him and show nothing but affection.
Mateo first met this clan of marmots four years ago, when he came to Alps with his parents for a holiday. The boy has returned to his animal friends every year ever since.
