Rock Squirrel in Grand Canyon National Park (don't eat and watch)

Rock squirrels (Otospermophilus variegatus) live in rocky areas of Mexico and Southwestern United States, and Grand Canyon is a perfect place for them. These cute animals dig burrows that provide shelter, living space, and food storage. Rock squirrels accustom themselves to foods available locally, but human food is hard for them to digest and it often makes them aggressive.
