Ring-tailed ground squirrel

[edit]
  • Reviewed: Requirements Office
  • Comment: The source text states "... its motions are more light and agile than those of most spermophiles (Howell 1938)." In 1938, the genus Spermophilus was used for all the ground squirrels but this genus has now been split up.
