These wild animals are some of the cutest and seemingly laziest of mammals. They do, however, contribute a great deal to a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. They are shy and alert creatures and seldom seen, spending 80% of their time underground. Though they are not best friends with some farmers or ranchers, they help more than 100 other animals survive. This book attempts to peek into the lives of the largest ground squirrels globally and help the reader grow and appreciate their contribution. Read this book to learn what "chucking wood" actually meant.
