Ground squirrels are a type of rodent that are known for their burrowing behavior and living in underground tunnels. They are small to medium-sized rodents with short legs and tails, and they are found in various habitats, including grasslands, deserts, forests, and meadows. Ground squirrels are known for their hibernation habits, where they enter a period of torpor during the winter months. They are herbivorous animals, primarily feeding on seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetation. Ground squirrels are known for their agility, speed, and keen senses, and they use their burrows as shelter from predators and harsh weather conditions. They are social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through vocalizations and body language. Ground squirrels play important roles in ecosystems as prey for predators and as seed dispersers, helping to maintain plant diversity.
