California ground squirrels caught hunting other animals in a shocking, rare footage | Watch
California ground squirrels, long thought to be strict seed-eaters, have been observed hunting and consuming voles. This surprising behaviour, documented by researchers, highlights their adaptability as opportunistic omnivores. The study suggests this dietary shift, particularly during peak vole populations, allows them to exploit new food sources and thrive in changing environments.
