And he's like, these marmots are going to emerge through a couple meters of snow in the spring.

And that fence isn't tall enough.

But we don't know if they lost the marmots.

Kind of, but I don't think marmots are not velociraptors.

Choose through their wells, break the cages.

That's crazy.

So, you know, I study animal behavior and I'm really interested in human wildlife interactions and what we perceive as conflicts.

And, you know, if you can redefine what a conflict is, that's the best thing.

If you really want to grow vegetables there, you're going to declare war.

And there, the general thing is you make it harder for them to get to something and you make it easier for them to get to others.

So maybe you have some sacrificial tulips or tubers for them.

They don't need tubers, but I mean, whatever for them to eat.

And that might be good.

And then you protect other stuff with fencing.

And you can fence them out the same way you can fence DRL.

Maybe they eat tubers.

They typically don't eat bird eggs.

So some squirrels are much more omnivorous than marmots.

So the marmots that I've looked at and read about...

They're pretty much vegetarians.
