This marmot socially distanced itself right into an engine bay

A Jiffy Lube mechanic in Utah encountered a unique car issue last week, and this one couldn't be fixed with a manual or diagnostic. When a woman dropped off her car at a Springville, Utah, location, the employees found a marmot (they thought it was a beaver) sitting in the engine bay. According to KSL, the shop called the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and watched as an officer extracted the animal.

Squeaks are a common noise to come out of an engine bay, but they're usually caused by a belt or loose bolt. This time, the squeak was coming from a marmot, a large ground squirrel that is common to the Utah area. When the Utah DWR arrived to retrieve the animal, it was buried beneath a web of hoses and wires.
