Mean Squirrels
Who run the world? Squirrels. Grool. We meant to write cool but then started to write great. The California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi) is found in a wide range of habitat ranging from southern Washington to northern California. So, fetch. It’s happening. This squirrel can be identified by its mottled fur with colors of gray, brown, and white, and a poofy tail. (It’s full of secrets.) They’re known to eat a variety of foods such as nuts, seeds (is that a carb?), berries, toaster strudels, insects, and in drier climates, they forage all year long. They also can stuff multiple food stores in their cheeks to be used for eating at later dates. Pretend you didn’t hear that. They aren’t really mean, until they are. Aren’t we all?
