Ground Squirrels
Color: fur is brownish gray and speckled with off-white along the back; the sides of the head and shoulders are light gray to whitish
Size: 9 to 11 inches
Feeding Habits: live in a burrow system where they sleep, rest, rear young, store food, and avoid danger. Primarily herbivorous feeding on green grasses and herbaceous plants. When annual plants begin to dry and produce seed, squirrels switch to seeds, grains, and nuts, and begin to store food. Ground squirrels usually forage close to their burrows
