Jana 6 May 2024 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?

Ding Lingwei 14 May 2024 @Jana They're rather common in Chinese zoos, especially in smaller facilities.
Jana 12 Apr 2025 @Arun Are they regularly bred or are they wild-cought most? BTW I would love to have this species in Europe.

Arun 12 Apr 2025 @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.
