Rescued Baby Squirrels Freeze When People Enter
Originally Published 6 months ago — by The Dodo - For Animal People
Nine baby thirteen-lined ground squirrels rescued from a backyard were initially very weak and scared, and they exhibited a unique freezing behavior as a defense mechanism when frightened. After receiving care at Oaken Acres Wildlife Center, they are recovering well and continue to display their adorable freeze responses, with plans for eventual release back into the wild.
