The Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel is a small rodent found in North America. They live in forests and woodlands, and are also known to inhabit urban areas. These squirrels have a reddish-brown coat with a golden sheen, hence their name. They are active during the day, and mainly eat nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels are very social animals, and live in colonies of up to 100 individuals. They use vocalizations and body posturing to communicate with one another, and often play together. These squirrels are also known to be very curious, and will investigate new things they come across.

Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrels are important members of their ecosystems, as they help to disperse seeds throughout their habitats. They are also preyed upon by a variety of predators, including birds of prey, coyotes, and bobcats. Despite this, the Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel is doing well and is not currently considered to be at risk of extinction.
