All these burrow at the edge of thickets and cactus clumps and apparently hibernate. Sometimes they do much damage by boring through the banks of irrigating ditches. Another south- GROUND-SQUIRRELS 151 western group includes the rock-squirrels, which are never seen far from cliffs or broken ledges. Bailey 'tells us that they climb the trees for acorns and berries, but when surprised al- ways rush to the ground and scamper away to the nearest rock-pile. They are extremely wary. "Like most of the... smaller ground- squirrels of the arid regions they usually bur- row under a cactus or some low thorny bush, where they obtain shade and the protection of thorny cover. They apparently do not hiber- nate, but during the cold weather have the un- squirrel-like habit of closing their burrows and remaining inside, as a protection against en- emies, and especially snakes. . . . Like other members of the genus, these ground- squirrels feed on seeds, grain, fruit, green foliage, lizards, and numerous insects, and often gather around gardens and green fields, where they do considerable damage in spring by digging up corn, melons, beans and various sprouting seeds, and, in summer and fall, by feeding on the ripening grain.
