Round Tail Ground Squirrel

Round Tailed Ground Squirrels are very cute. No doubt about it. They are also very destructive. They dig holes underneath cactus. Several holes. Lots of entries and exits to escape potential predators. The problem is that these holes tend to dry out the roots of the cactus eventually killing the cactus. Round Tail Ground Squirrels are "unaffectionately" called "Pack Rats." While they are squirrels and not rats, they do collect everything -- anything is sight to put around their "house" creating an unsightly mess.

But they are cute as can be.
