Yellow-Bellied Marmot Hitchhikes From Colorado to Toronto, Canada

This curious yellow-bellied marmot accidentally became a hitchhiker and world traveler. A Toronto, Canada, family discovered the rodent in their camper after arriving home from a mountain adventure in Aspen, Colorado. They took the scared little critter to local rehabilitators in Toronto for help. After weeks of volunteers planning, organizing permits, and booking flights, the mammal returned to the U.S. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.
