Thirteen-Lined Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus)
Image by cliff1066™
Of all the squirrels listed in the "Ground Squirrel" group, the Thirteen Lined Ground Squirrel is most often mistakenly identified as a gopher or chipmunk.
The Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel can be simply identified by its brown body, white under body and the thirteen alternating brown and white stripes down its back and sides. These markings can look like seven broad dark brown stripes with six tan bands or seven narrow yellow stripes with six broad dark brown bands.
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel is sometimes mistaken as a chipmunk till their stripes are looked at closer and counted. These adult squirrels grow to be nine to twelve inches lengthy and 35 inches tall and all have internal cheek pouches for carrying meals to their burrow.
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel can be found on prairies, golf courses, cemeteries, and open areas from Canada to the Southern US. They feed on insects, primarily grasshoppers, plants, and the seed of weeds, corn, wheat and occasionally the meat of little vertebrates. Preyed upon by hawks, snakes, foxes, coyotes, and badgers, the thirteen-lined ground squirrel will usually sit erect with its nose in the air seeking for danger whilst consuming.
After hibernation, female thirteen-lined ground squirrels give birth to a litter of 5-13 babies that are born blind, hairless and toothless. These babies open their eyes on day 13 and are totally-grown in three months. Soon after remaining with the mother for 4-six weeks, the babies fend for themselves typically digging their own burrows not far from residence.
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel is most active midday and on warm days. They greet every other by touching their noses and lips and leave scent marks by employing the glands about their mouths.
