電影《哪吒之魔童鬧海》中，哪吒收服土撥鼠的片段，讓不少人對憨態可掬的土撥鼠很好奇。
24日，一則女子看哪吒後網購土撥鼠，疑收到野生旱獺的訊息引發關注。
The adorable groundhog featured in the Chinese animation blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has captivated many a viewer — including a Shanghai woman, who purchased a potentially dangerous wild rodent online.
據@荔枝新聞 報道，近日，上海一女子稱自己看完電影《哪吒2》後，很喜歡裡面憨態可掬的土撥鼠，於是網購了一隻當寵物。不料到手後發現和預期差距較大：鼠爪、鼠身都有傷口，甚至還有蜱蟲，遂將其發至網路控訴商家。
The woman was so charmed by the film's chubby and endearing groundhog that she decided to buy one as a pet from an online seller. However, upon receiving the animal, she discovered it was far from the cuddly creature she had expected.The marmot arrived with visible wounds on its paws and body, along with ticks embedded in its fur. Shocked and disappointed, she posted about her experience online, accusing the seller of fraud.
評論區網友指出，她購買的這隻所謂的“土撥鼠”或為野生旱獺，極易攜帶鼠疫等高危傳染病原體。一旦感染，後果嚴重，建議上報疾控中心對其進行科學處置。女子後續卻稱已自行將鼠寄回商家，引發網友的“鼠疫傳播”擔憂。
The situation quickly took a serious turn when netizens pointed out that the animal she had received might actually be a wild tarbagan marmot, a species known to carry high-risk pathogens — including the plague.The revelation sparked public concern, with some urging her to report the case to local health authorities.The woman later claimed she had returned the marmot to the seller.
對此，上海疾控中心的工作人員回應稱：已接到相關舉報，目前正在核實調查中，同時安撫公眾不必過於恐慌。
The Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that it had received related reports and was investigating the case. While assuring the public that not all tarbagan marmots carry the plague pathogen, officials emphasized that the risk of infection exists and should not be ignored.
“即便是野生旱獺，也只有一定的感染鼠疫機率，並非必然攜帶。”建議大家儘量少接觸野生動物，切勿購買，因為“即便是人工養殖的也存在攜帶病毒的風險”。截至發稿，涉事商家已下架相關商品。
The local CDC advised people to avoid contact with wild animals and refrain from purchasing them, as even farm-raised creatures can carry infectious diseases.Following the public outcry, the online seller has removed the listing for the animal.
專家表示，女子網購“土撥鼠”或為喜馬拉雅旱獺，本質上屬於野生動物。除正規野生動物園或繁育機構外，個人沒有渠道或是方式來飼養。旱獺出現在個人商家或是類似寵物博主的頻道中都是不合法的。此外，郵寄運輸野生動物也有相關的檢疫檢驗要求。
相關事件引發關注後，《博物》雜誌也在社交網路做出科普。
Tarbagan marmots are the primary hosts for the bacterium responsible for the plague. The disease, infamous for devastating Europe during the Black Death in the 14th century, is listed as a Category A infectious disease in China due to its high fatality rate and rapid transmission. If left untreated, plague mortality rates range from 30 percent to 100 percent.
