"Sciurids: Fascinating American Animals Enjoying Daylight in Various Parts of the World" From the coastal region of Monterey, California to the picturesque landscapes of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming they can be found during daytime hours across different continents. These charming creatures captivate us with their adorable antics and diverse habitats. In North America, we encounter the California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi), a native species that thrives along the Californian coast. Its lively presence adds vibrancy to the exterior scenery as it scampers about. Venturing further east to Europe's Tyrol region in Austria, we come across another member of this family - the Alpine marmot (Marmota marmota). This alpine dweller showcases its resilience against harsh climates while residing at Alpine Zoo Innsbruck. Traveling southward to South Africa's Kalahari desert, we meet the Cape Ground Squirrel (Xerus inauris) roaming freely within Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. These African natives adapt remarkably well to arid environments and are a testament to nature's ingenuity. Back on American soil, Yellowstone National Park unveils its treasures with sightings of Yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris). Whether hiding behind stones or sitting proudly near their burrows, these rock chucks bring life and character to this iconic national park. Crossing over into Canada's Banff National Park reveals yet another delightful sight - Golden-mantled ground squirrels (Spermophilus lateralis). Their playful behavior is showcased as they sit up and beg for food or perch themselves on signs at Wave Spring Geyser. These charismatic rodents add an extra touch of charm amidst Alberta's Canadian Rockies. Finally, making our way back to Europe brings us face-to-face with European ground squirrels or sousliks (Spermophilus citellus).
