Facts about ground squirrels and chamomile meadows

European ground squirrels dig complex underground burrow systems in open meadows to sleep, store food, and stay safe from heat. Chamomile flowers thrive in sunny fields where these small rodents forage for seeds, roots, and green plant stems. Ground squirrels stand up on their hind legs to scan the surrounding landscape for overhead birds of prey.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about ground squirrels

Why do ground squirrels stand on their hind legs?
Ground squirrels stand tall on sunny hills to get a clear view of open fields. This upright position helps them spot potential predators early so they can retreat quickly into their underground burrows.
What happens to European ground squirrels during the winter?
European ground squirrels spend cold winter months hibernating deep inside their underground burrows. They enter a deep sleep and survive on stored body fat until warm weather returns in spring.
