Thirteen-lined ground squirrel — size comparison — facts and sources

The thirteen-lined ground squirrel inhabits open central North America. Alongside prairies it uses pastures, parks and short-mown lawns where soil permits a safe burrow.

Active by day, particularly in warm sunshine, it eats seeds, leaves and insects and carries plant food in cheek pouches. Before winter it accumulates fat and stores.

It hibernates in a deeper burrow. Shallow emergency refuges allow rapid escape from predators. Numerous animals may occupy a suitable site, but such concentrations do not mean they share a burrow.
