ROADKILL WARNING: Is this a Wolverine? A Google search tells me only 8 have been seen in Utah since 1979. This looks

Porcupine?

Maybe. It’s big though. 3 feet easy.

Porcupines get that big, plus coloring doesn't look like a wolverine

Huh, TIL. Thanks

I think their quills are much longer and thicker than what we see in this pic

Because of the way it is.

Maybe a beaver?

That’s no beaver tail.

Beaver. I heard they got run over last week by the BIG XII.

It’s a marmot.

Everyman

This is correct

Isn't it spelled Marmon?

Also referred to as rock chucks or whistlers. You are correct

That means no. Dang it.

It has rodent teeth

No touching

That is 100% a porcupine.

Probable Sacko

8/6/23 5:39pm

No, it's a marmot

jdub

8/6/23 5:39pm

no, it isn’t. Marmots don’t have quills

Probable Sacko

8/6/23 5:41pm

I don't see quills in that photo. And this is me with a marmot, easily that big

jdub

8/6/23 5:43pm

that’s all well and good. Here is a pic of me roasting a marmot over a fire.

Great photos with that Marmot btw. Friendly guy.

Great pics.

He waddled up to me and starting licking my shin. I asked my wife: "you're getting this, right?"

Very cool wildlife experience. Our yellowbellied variety are pretty skittish

Hey, cool! I typically play the role in my family of walking salt lick too!

Marmots don't get to the size he is describing

Marmots do get that big, but it still looks like it has quills.

Yeah. Married the guy she cheated on me with

Incisors give it away, no way it's a wolverine.....it's gotta be a porcupine or marmot, but based on coloring - porky

CLCougar

8/6/23 5:42pm

That is a porcupine. Definitely not the claws of a wolverine.

YSMACK

8/6/23 5:43pm

Also, doesn't look like a Marmot based on the tail.

YSMACK

8/6/23 6:13pm

That looks nothing like a wolverine. I’ve see one up close. That looks like a marmot.

JohnnyComeLately

8/6/23 5:44pm

Agreed. I've also seen marmots up close

jdub

8/6/23 5:45pm

To be fair, I was doing 60mph past it. All I saw was “big rodent”

scootsy

8/6/23 5:45pm

Wait. You took that photo while doing 60?

No. I called my BIL who was following 10 minutes behind me and told him to get a pic

Sadly, this was a roadkill wolverine and it had a tracker on it, and he had covered about 200 miles recently
