Ground squirrels are funny. Prairie dogs are too, but as they are not as neurotic, they are not quite as fun to watch at times. When the dogs aren't doing anything except eating, gs are always an interesting distraction. Take today for example: Ground Squirrel 'A' was chasing 'B' around in circles in the ZZ area. Gs 'C' came up to the action and stood by worriedly. It was obvious he wanted to help 'B', but he wasn't sure where to start. He decided to charge right in, and ended up having a head on collision with 'B'. The impact knocked them both down, nonplussing gs 'A', who, after a moments hesitation, leaned over and bit 'B', and then trotted away full of himself...
Meanwhile, FBS and RR2 were passing a gs back and forth between the two of them, chasing it just far enough into the other's territory, and then letting the other chase it back...and that was all the excitement of the day for the pd's, who were concentrating on heavy eating.
