Spermophilus variegatu
"Rock squirrels, with their long, bushy tails, look very much like tree squirrels, but seldom climb trees. Occasionally a nest is found in a tree, but they usually dig burrows, choosing a place that offers a near-by lookout where they can watch for danger.
They are most commonly found in rocky habitats—canyons, cliffs, and hillsides.
