Funny Fellow!
Ground dwelling squirrels like the Yuma Antelope Squirrel, also known as Harris's Antelope Squirrel, are fun animals to watch as they go about their business. They are nimble little critters that easily scamper over the rocks and cactus found in the desert regions of the American Southwest where they live. A variety of desert plants produce the food they eat, like the red, juicy tuna of prickly pear cactus, which leaves them looking like a child who got into momma's lipstick. When alarmed, they dash away chittering with their tails sticking straight up. Once they reach a place they feel secure, they will often stop, bicker at their enemy and stamp their front paws.
