Interesting facts about thirteen lined ground squirrel by weird square

Description:
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel gets its name from the distinctive thirteen alternating dark and light stripes that run along its back and sides. With a slender body and a bushy tail, these squirrels are well-adapted for a life spent primarily on the ground. Their fur coloration varies from shades of brown to gray, providing effective camouflage in their natural habitat.

Despite their small size, thirteen-lined ground squirrels are known for their agility and quick movements. They are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and spend much of their time foraging for food. Their diet consists of a variety of seeds, nuts, insects, and green vegetation.

These squirrels are skilled burrowers, creating intricate tunnel systems with multiple entrances. The burrows serve as both shelter and a place to store food. During winter, they enter a state of torpor, reducing their metabolic rate and surviving on stored fat.
