Callospermophilus lateralis
A sweet-natured rodent that approaches people presumably to acquire food. Someone gave it a raw, in-shell peanut which it quickly stuffed its cheeks with. These squirrels aim to gain weight in the summer ahead of hibernation time in the winter.
Seen at an elevation of 9500 ft in White River National Forest, Colorado, an alpine area of conifers.
Series in reverse order. :-)
