"Bird" #42 - the thirteen-lined ground squirrel

(Dont worry this is the last mammal for now haha)

These charming lil' guys are found across a wide swathe of North America. They can hibernate for a whole six months of the year!

Apparently the babies aren't born with the stripes and they only develop at about 12 days old which I think is really cute.

Chipmunk friend at the park this morning. I hope it got plenty to eat for itself and any young because it lives right near the carnival.

We’ve released 803 squirrels at an airport - here’s why

We’ve decided to help a species that has found its last refuge in a very strange ecosystem… Airport Grasslands!?
