Dead animal in pipe

Things are just a touch more crazy in CA. Fortunately on rural properties things make more sense.

My neighbors all advised to "just take care of it."
I'm on a cul de sac of 4 - 10 acre fully-manicured properties, between two properly-urban, but small and older towns. I never know whether to call my neighborhood "suburban" or "rural", as it's truly neither, rather somewhere in-between.

I'll admit that it took me three pages of watching this thread, to finally open a new tab and learn what a marmot is.
Well, here is a picture of one, although he has certainly "seen better days."

Now I have to figure out how to fish out the second one. btw those are 12" pliers next to it.

That's a big sucker. How did you get that one out?

It had pretty much plugged the 8 inch pipe at the end. With a lot of putrid water backed up in the pipe behind it. when I removed the block from the end of the pipe ... whoosh ... out it came along with a mess of flies and some really bad smelling liquid.

Did I mention how bad it smelled? :D
