Thanks for sharing this great photo with us, Phyllis!
Often mistaken for a chipmunk, the Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel is both heavier and longer. Both species have distinct black stripes running down their backs, but the unlike the Chipmunk, the Squirrel’s stop at its neck.
The Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel gets its name from the golden, russet-coloured mantle on its shoulders and neck. Seeds, nuts, fungi, insects, bird eggs, small vertebrates, and carrion comprise its diet.
