Wow, I had no idea they were on show anywhere. Is this species kept at other Chinese zoos? Or is it kept by local private breeders?
 
@Arun Are they regularly bred or are they wild-cought most?

BTW I would love to have this species in Europe.
 
@Jana As far as I know, most marmots are artificially bred. As you may be aware, capturing them in the wild is highly risky since they are carriers of plague bacteria.
