Out hiking at Sunol Regional Wilderness, I came across an area full of California ground squirrels. Apparently they didn't like my presence very much, because they issued some warning calls and went on "high alert." Although they didn't immediately dive into their burrows. Anyway, you can see and hear their response in this video.

  • You know,I dont think thats answering. Those animal's got two different warning calls for two different kind of predators. 

  • @mascotasydemasbichos I've heard prairie dogs have different calls for different predators, so it wouldn't surprise me if these guys do too. I'm still trying to find the one associated with "annoying photographer at 10 o'clock" :)

  • They sell a baby one at a pet store 

  • It's amazing how often people mistake the calls of ground squirrels, chipmunks etc. for birds.
