网购“土拨鼠”却收到野生旱獭？后续来了……

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.

据@荔枝新闻 报道，近日，上海一女子称自己看完电影《哪吒2》后，很喜欢里面憨态可掬的土拨鼠，于是网购了一只当宠物。不料到手后发现和预期差距较大：鼠爪、鼠身都有伤口，甚至还有蜱虫，遂将其发至网络控诉商家。

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.

评论区网友指出，她购买的这只所谓的“土拨鼠”或为野生旱獭，极易携带鼠疫等高危传染病原体。一旦感染，后果严重，建议上报疾控中心对其进行科学处置。女子后续却称已自行将鼠寄回商家，引发网友的“鼠疫传播”担忧。

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.

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.

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.
