Subject: Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel, Spermophilus lateralis Location: Arapaho National Forest, Colorado Stock Number: 04-1469 Comments: When I visit the western states I am always a little surprised to see the variety of rodents that are out and aboutfar more than in the East. Ask locals about the identity of any of the various ground squirrels or marmots and they are likely to answer, "Oh, that's just a whistle pig."
