That reminds me of this one, I wonder if that is what spawned this one
My brazen little paw-wringing acquaintance is a Mojave antelope squirrel at Black Rock campground in Joshua Tree National Park, Ca. quote]
This looks like our Ground Squirrel....does he also fold his tail over his head for shelter?

The tail isn't quite long enough, although it does fold over the back.quote]
Thanks for this info. I like to compare animal behaviour.

No sorry, I do not know. It would be interesting to know though. I do not think that there would be a comparison anywhere.You know of any way to tell how far apart genetically these species are?

Extremely interesting....thanks for taking the time to look this up. Yes, they are preyed upon here mostly by eagles and jackals. Also their food is similar as they both live in the desert areas, and are only active during the day. Interesting little creatures and I can watch them for hours.I suppose they are as close as transcontinental cousins can be without being an introduced species.
Interesting behavior. I'd also think they would fill the same ecological niche, eating similar foods and being food for snakes, birds and medium-sized predatory mammals (canids)?
