Description
A cute juvenile Round-tailed Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus tereticaudus) found a snack on the desert floor of Catalina State Park near Tucson, Arizona.
The round-tailed ground squirrel, known as "Ardillón cola redonda" in Spanish, live in the desert of the Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico. They are called "ground squirrels" because they burrow in loose soil, often under mesquite trees and creosote bushes.

Congrats for your Homepage Feature in the art group, BEAUTY OF ARIZONA! They are a cute ground squirrel in the Sonoran Desert, but they can be pesky, too. Well photographed, Jurgen. like/fave

Congratulations, for the Homepage Feature, in the Art Group, “BEAUTY OF ARIZONA,” for the week of Friday, February 19, 2021! You are welcome to submit your featured artwork in the groups discussion thread, “2021 NEW Thanks & Features Archive January thru March!” Thank you for sharing your artwork and being a member of the group. They are cute, but quite a pest, as they make holes all over my desert acre (which then becomes a possible shelter for rattlesnakes), and they snip off all my garden flowers that have bloomed. like/fave Janet🌵
