The Richardson's ground squirrel

Richardson's ground squirrel , or the flickertail, is a North American ground squirrel in the genus ''Urocitellus''. Like a number of other ground squirrels, they are sometimes called ''Dak Rats'' or ''gophers'', though this name belongs more strictly to the pocket gophers of family Geomyidae.
