Marmots Turn Up in San Francisco and Antioch After Hitching Rides
Original: Two mountain marmots appeared separately in San Francisco and Antioch in September after apparently hitch
Two mountain marmots were spotted separately in San Francisco and Antioch in September, far from their usual alpine habitat, after apparently hitching rides on vehicles. The unusual appearances in urban Bay Area locations puzzled wildlife officials and residents, raising questions about how the animals traveled and whether more stowaway marmots could show up in the region.
Why now: Marmots appearing in two unlikely urban locations in the same month is a rare and curious wildlife story
