California ground squirrel

Otospermophilus beecheyi

Description:

Squirrels in the seaside too?..No way!..that was awesome :-) It seems as the back pattern is different than that of the ones located in the mountainside, with no black on top. They seem to thrive eating marine stuff, algae, molluscs...all they can find in the rocks next to the sea.

Habitat:

Morro Bay, CA.
