They wrote, “Lincoln Animal Control was notified this weekend of a marmot that had caught a ride to Lincoln from a park in Wyoming in the engine compartment of a van. The marmot was not easily reachable, and due to marmots not being native to Nebraska, it was crucial that it did not escape. Help was requested from Nebraska Game and Parks Commission as well as Nebraska Wildlife Rehab, Inc (NWR.)” The organisation further added, “NWR was able to bring a veterinarian on scene and adminer a sedative to the marmot in order to safely remove it from the vehicle. Once removed, the marmot was checked over and determined to be healthy, and likely a yearling.” Later, the marmot was sent back to Nebraska.
