Columbian ground squirrel (Urocitellus columbianus) in the alpine meadow of Ptarmigan Cirque, Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, Alberta. These high-elevation rodents experience a very short active season and hibernate most of the year. Their ecophysiology is under study by researchers at the University of Saskatchewan.
