[edit]Are we certain the image is of a Long-tailed Marmot and not of the Yellow Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus fulvus? --Aranae (talk) 21:17, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- It certainly looks a lot more like Spermophilus than Marmota: narrow tail, slender head. Ucucha 21:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

On the other hand, both of these pictures are apparently the same animal and nr. 2 does look more marmot-like. Ucucha 14:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. You are right. This is Spermophilus fulvus Hunu (talk) 13:00, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

The animals in the photograph that I shifted from Himalayan marmot are in Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, not in the Himalayan region or Tibetan Plateau. Leo1pard (talk) 10:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- It is not Himalayan marmot, it's Gray marmot Marmota baibacina centralis.
