Durable Desert Dwellers ~


Two of our desert dwellers are captured here - the frisky and engaging little antelope ground squirrel and the barrel cactus.

    That's a Harris's antelope ground squirrel. Pocket gophers aren't as cute. (I got bitten by one once, I should know!)

      THANK YOU! I actually did a google search for images of pocket gophers and this fellow DID look cuter but I did not know about antelope ground squirrels. I appreciate the correction!
