Description
The California ground squirrel is a common and easily observed ground squirrel of the western United States. In the wild, the average lifespan of a California ground squirrel is up to six years. However, in captivity, they are known to survive up to about ten years.
California ground squirrels live in a system of burrows. There are numerous burrows dug in the vicinity of one another. These burrows can house several generations of these squirrels, giving the system a form of a squirrel colony. Each individual burrow possesses a different entrance, and in case of an external threat, the squirrels retreat―most of the time, to their own entrance.
These squirrels communicate by making a variety of sounds, by producing a peculiar scent, or by sending out various tail signals. California ground squirrel is also known to repel predators by a variety of techniques, like sand-kicking and super-heating.
