These are the incredible new pictures of a boy who became friends with a
group of marmots. Matteo Walch struck up a remarkable bond with the alpine
marmots when he was first introduced to the animals his nature-loving
family, when he was just four years old. And as these incredible new
images of Matteo, now 11, show, his bond with the usually-shy creatures is
more than just a fleeting friendship. Matteo and his mum mum Michaela, a
schoolteacher from Innsbruck, Austria, return to visit the colony of
Marmots in Groglockner in the Austrian alps for two weeks every year. PIC
