It seems we can't let a spring or summer month go by without a photo of one of these adorable little creatures. And more than just cute, they are clever. They don't just dig into the ground in winter and sleep away the cold months. Instead, they develop not only sleeping quarters but a larder too, where they will store food for the winter. This is because they are not true hibernators, as say groundhogs are, for they will periodically wake up and head to their food area for a snack, and if the winter sees some unseasonably warm days, these guys will pop outside for awhile.
