This golden-mantled ground squirrel was not exactly shy. It came right up to me looking for a snack at the High Desert Museum. Yes, it was cute but it didn’t get anything from me besides a photograph.

Good on you for not giving in to this cutie's begging, Siobhan. Many people don't realise that it is actually very cruel to feed wild animals.
Yes, I agree. I imagine you see that there too.
Sadly very true, Siobhan. Especially the primates become seriously dangerous when they're used to living off handouts and eventually and invariably they have to be euthanised to prevent them injuring people.

Nice capture of this little critter!
Thanks! It came so close to me I could have petted it. 🙂
