Busy Little Squirrel

[Gabriela Plesea]

Hello Everyone:)

Here's a little Ground Squirrel searching for food at midday:)

Those cuties use their tails to protect themselves from the scorching sun while they scratch around under small bushes for roots and small seeds.

I have often seen them eating flowers as well as Kalahari melons (tsama). They do not have to drink as they obtain moisture from food they consume.

Images taken at Mata Mata camp in the Kalahari.


Thank you so much for your views and comments on my previous Sequences.
