Too Close for Comfort


A thirteen-lined ground squirrel going about his business near Smuts, Saskatchewan.


As I approached he crouched down and then I took one step too many...


...his small body stretched out and he was gone in a flash down into the safety of his burrow.  I definitely got too close for comfort.

  1. I've never seen one of these - either for real or in pictures. Such amazing stripes on his body.
