By Anica Padilla
GLENDALE, Arizona (KCNC) A marmot from Colorado was captured in Arizona, after surviving a 600-mile road trip underneath a car in record heat. Wildlife officials were called to a report of an “unknown creature” in the Phoenix area last month.
“We got a call to our radio dispatch from a citizen in Arizona, in Glendale actually, that took video footage of an unknown creature, running around in a parking lot, jumping into vehicles here,” said Sharon Lashway with the Arizona Game & Fish Department. “My first reaction was, ‘We have a marmot.’”
