Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel
For two and a half hours today I sat with my camera at the prairie dog town inside Devil's Tower National Monument. I got leg cramps! But I didn't move! The prairie dogs did not cooperate and my pup photos were a flop, but I sat small and quiet and got quite close up to this Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel. He is so tiny and ran so fast that at first I thought it was a fat lizard. Unlike the prairie dog, the 13-lined ground squirrels do hibernate in winter.
