Cheeky Squirrel Strikes Again - Master of Snack Storage!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Daphne Kinzler, we witness the incredible talent of a Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel in action. With its mouth stuffed to the brim, this cheeky critter is on a mission to hoard as many seeds as possible! Feeding on fallen seeds from a birdtable in a North Dakota garden, this adult squirrel demonstrates some serious multitasking skills. While most animals struggle to carry their food around, our furry friend has found an ingenious solution – cheek pouches! Just like Mary Poppins' bottomless bag, these little pockets can hold an astonishing amount of treats. As it scurries about underneath the feeder, you can almost see the satisfaction on its face. This clever creature knows that winter is coming and it's time to stock up for those chilly months ahead. Who needs Costco when you have your own built-in pantry? With its striped fur and mischievous gaze, this Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel steals the show with its impressive foraging abilities. So next time you spot one of these adorable rodents in your garden or local park, remember to appreciate their hidden talents – they're not just cute faces but also nature's very own snack-hoarding experts!
