The video that is literally crazy the Internet users and who is jumping for social networks on social networks comes from China. Two marmots give it about good reason In a road that crosses the meadows of the Gannan district, right on the Mezzaria line, forcing motorists to stop.
On the other hand, how not to wonder in the face of such a scene? Shoulders, pushes and muscles in plain sight, under their hair blanket. The two marmots, in fact, were not playing at all: theirs was a decidedly more serious question. Which?
To establish social hierarchies or test their defensive skills, marmots act by impulse by giving orbits.
Why do marmots fight?
The marmots, belonging to the sciattoli family, are known for theirs hibernation And for the marked social behaviors, with very precise rules and dynamics. According to experts, they use these physical interactions to strengthen group ties and communicate, which is fundamental for their survival in nature. In short, the “struggles” between marmots (especially adult males) are rather common, especially in spring, when they abandon the lairs to resume their activities between the prairies and mountain plateaus.
These interactions are especially used to establish hierarchies, defend the boundaries of their territory or demonstrate strength and vitality in the eyes of females.
A scene that can make you smile, but the setting in the middle of a road must make us reflect: do you not think that it highlights a too risky intersection between wildlife and human environment, in addition to the timely impact of infrastructure on animal behavior and on the need for faunal corridors?
