The Mexican ground squirrel (Spermophilus mexicanus) is a fascinating creature found in the Laredo Borderlands of Texas, USA. In April, this adorable rodent can be spotted munching on grasshoppers, showcasing its agile hunting skills in South Texas. Thirsty from all the activity, it takes a refreshing sip at a pond in Starr County. The juveniles of this species are full of energy and often engage in playful chases with their fellow siblings or friends. Their lively antics provide entertainment for anyone lucky enough to witness them frolicking around. Not only do they enjoy playing, but these squirrels also know how to take care of themselves by staying hydrated. Another snapshot captures one drinking at a pond in south Texas alongside a Hispid Cotton Rat (Sigmodon hispidus), showing their ability to coexist peacefully. When it comes to dining preferences, the Mexican ground squirrel has an appetite for granjeno (Celtis pallida) and can be seen feasting on this plant as it satisfies its hunger while contributing to seed dispersal within its ecosystem.
