Thirteen-lined ground squirrel: The Picket-Pin Sentinel
$3.50
Description
This industrious rodent holds the record for one of the longest hibernations among mammals, often spending up to eight months underground. From spring through early fall, you'll spot them darting across Minnesota's prairies, open fields, and even suburban lawns, frequently pausing in their iconic 'picket-pin' stance. Our sticker evokes its characteristic alertness, ready to whistle a warning or vanish into its burrow.
