I know.

Wouldn't you want to sort of, you know, share your garden with the wildlife?

Mountain lion poop.

Years ago, this was in the former Soviet Union and they were in Kazakhstan or something.

And there was a nuclear facility.

They were trying to marmot proof.

And it's like, how deep does a fence have to go in order to and how high does it have to go?

I'm like, I don't know.

They can dig deep if they want, but it sort of depends.

And we've talked about that for a while.

Then at one of these marmot meetings in Switzerland, we're at a place called Marmot Paradise.

It's above Montreux.

And you take the train up and these people ski in the winter there and the train makes money in the winter.

And they wanted to make money in the summer.

So they sort of got marmots from all over the place.

And he's kept, Greg Florent, he's kept marmots before.

And he's looking at the fence and he knows snow.
