Belding's Ground Squirrel, Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

A Belding's ground squirrel (Urocitellus beldingi) feeds on grass in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Frenchglen, Oregon. Belding's ground squirrels hibernate longer than most other mammals - 7 to 9 months per year - so their ability to survive the winter is dependent on how much body fat they are able to accumulate in the summer.
