I mainly work on articles relating to southern England and rivers and Roman roads, plus anything else that catches my interest. I take lots of photos wherever I go to upload to commons.
TheEuropean ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus), also known as the European souslik, is a species in thesquirrel family, Sciuridae. Like all squirrels, it is a member of the order ofrodents, and it is found in central and southeastern Europe, with its range divided into two parts by theCarpathian Mountains. It is acolonial animal and mainlydiurnal. The European ground squirrel excavates a branching system of tunnels up to 2 metres (6 ft) deep, with several entrances. This requires a habitat of short turf, such as on steppes, pasture, dry banks, sports fields, parks and lawns. Its short, dense fur is yellowish grey, tinged with red, with a few indistinct pale and dark spots on the back. Adults typically measure 20 to 23 centimetres (8 to 9 in) with a weight of 240 to 340 grams (8.5 to 12.0 oz). It has a slender build with a short, bushy tail, and makes a shrill alarm call that causes all other individuals in the vicinity to dive for cover. This European ground squirrel was photographed in Obrovisko Family Park, nearMuráň, Slovakia.Photograph credit:Charles J. Sharp
