Field Notes

Description:

A columbian ground squirrel that was begging for food. We did not feed him, so he ended up running to beg somewhere else. Please do not feed the animals when you are at any kind of park. It makes them tame and unafraid of humans, and is not natural behavior.

Habitat:

Glacier National Park

Notes:

Don't feed any animal unless its a pet or you are watching it.
