Meet this lil park ranger! Colombian ground squirrels pop out of the ground like toast, squeak like they’re spilling secrets, and look like they’re begging for your trail mix… but they’re not. Do not feed the fluff! Human food is not built for wild guts. It can cause malnutrition and illness. Soft human foods can mess with their natural foraging and can lead to dental issues. All animals fed by humans lose their natural fear, making them easy prey- or extremely aggressive. While there are plenty more reasons not to feed wildlife you see around, no matter what, let’s keep wildlife wild. 🙏
