Burrow Buddies – A European Ground Squirrel Story

Ground Squirrels are small squirrels that need a special environment: a clear view to spot enemies in time, sandy soil to dig their burrows and space for their colonies to grow. These conditions are also important for other creatures and so they share their habitat with field hamsters, warthogs, sawflies and many others. The result is a veritable “Ground Squirrel cosmos”. It is worthwhile to stop stealing the habitat of this community, because it is an enrichment for humans and nature.

G'day, Sir!

Thank you for your interest in Text & Bild.

Unfortunately we were too excited and could not wait to launch our brand new website. The english translation of our site was sacrified by our drive. But we'll fix this shortly.

Thank you for your understanding.
