They will just go crazy. You could even hold them in your hand and chase them for the bread. But I heard, WWI people were not in favour of feeding this bunch of marmots. People throb in huge numbers to stop and click Photographs with them while they are feed them. They are not use to such extra haeavy diet. They fear their ill health during hibernating period.

In fact, One day, we drove just 80 odd kms in 8 hrs just because we were trying to follow the marmots and few birds around... You really got some good pictures...
