THE MIRACLE OF MIGRATION IN ANIMALS
Richardson's ground squirrels live in
the western plains of North America.
Their home usually takes the form of a
maze-like burrow with one main
entrance and several emergency exits.
Young male squirrels travel 9.6 kilome-
ters (6 miles) in 72 hours—a very great
distance when the squirrel's size is
taken into account.
