This Columbian Ground Squirrel has its burrow well out on the edge of the colony. This suggests that in the colony’s hierarchy, this squirrel ranks low. However, its suburban location did make it easier to watch.

Squirrels run out in front of bikes and get smooshed. I almost killed one today. Why haven’t the genetic lines responsible for this behaviour been eliminated from the gene pool? Do we need more bikers?
Chuckle, I suspect that:
a) This being your first comment, readers are probably going to confuse you with me;
b) The squirrels that you see crossing the road are probably tree squirrels, not ground squirrels;
c) I would like to add many more items to your list of things evolution should hurry up and deal with;
d) Yes, we do need more bikers.
