Ardilla de tierra/ Ground squirrel

Con el hocico y las patas mostrando la flagrante prueba del delito, la dorada ardilla de tierra nos miró con ojo inquisidor cuando la sorprendimos haciendo de las suyas en nuestro pequeño jardín. Estaba realmente sorprendida. Pareciese que éramos nosotros los intrusos. Tal vez llegó durante nuestras vacaciones y consideró que el espacio era suyo.

Con este encuentro sorpresivo, aclaramos el misterio del jardín que hacía unos días nos tenía preocupados pues la tierra aparecía horadada sin que pudiésemos explicarnos quién era el autor. Seguramente, la ardilla está guardando frutos secos para el invierno y los entierra en diferentes hoyos, pero próximos. También nos aclara el bote de basura tumbado y con los restos de comida regados. Sabe donde buscar comida diferente de los frutos secos. Habrá que ponerle un plato, como si fuese nuestro perro. Se sabe que las ardillas no son muy amigables con los humanos, pero ellas se acostumbran a compartir. Y ésta aparentemente está acostumbrada pues no se alejó al vernos. Así que bienvenida sea, esta graciosa y liberal mascota.

With the snout and the legs showing the flagrant proof of the crime, the golden ground squirrel looked at us with an inquisitive eye when we surprised it gaining of hers in our little garden. She was really surprised. It seems that we were the intruders. She maybe she came during our vacation and she considered the space to be hers. With this surprising encounter, we clarified the mystery of the garden that had already worried us a few days ago because the earth appeared pierced without being able to explain who did it. Surely, the squirrel is saving nuts for the winter and burying them in different holes, but close. It also clarifies the garbage can lying down and with the remains of food scattered. She knows where to look for food other than nuts. We will have to put a plate on it, as if it were our dog. It is known that squirrels are not very friendly with humans, but they get used to sharing. And this one apparently is used to it because she did not move away when she saw us. So welcome to this funny and liberal pet.
