EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible multitasking skills of the Columbian Ground Squirrel. With its cheeks puffed up like a true champion, this adorable rodent is on a mission to gather grass for its cozy nest. But wait, there's more! Did you know that this little creature hibernates for an astonishing seven to eight months each year? Talk about taking relaxation to the next level! When it comes to dining preferences, our furry friend has quite an eclectic taste. From grasses and plant stems to seeds, bulbs, and even insects or birds (yes, you read that right!), nothing seems off-limits for this adventurous eater. Native to various regions in North America including Montana and Canada's British Columbia and Alberta provinces, these ground squirrels call open alpine meadows, dry grasslands, and brushy areas their home sweet home. So if you ever find yourself wandering through these breathtaking landscapes with your camera at hand - keep an eye out for these lively critters! They'll surely provide endless entertainment as they scurry around collecting their precious nest materials. And remember folks; when it comes to gathering grass like a pro while simultaneously preparing for a long winter nap - nobody does it better than CAN-2275!
