Thirteen Lined Ground squirrel T-Shirt
The thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus), also known as the striped gopher, a squinney in parts of Iowa, and as the leopard-spermophile in Audubon’s day, is a brownish ground squirrel with 13 alternating brown and whitish longitudinal lines (sometimes partially broken into spots) on back and sides creating rows of whitish spots within dark lines. The thirteen-lined ground squirrel is the namesake of the of Minnesota Golden Gophers teams, and responsible for Minnesota's nickname as the Gopher State. The thirteen-lined ground squirrel is strictly diurnal and is especially active on warm days. A solitary or only somewhat colonial hibernator, it often occurs in aggregations in suitable habitats. In late summer, it puts on a heavy layer of fat and stores some food in its burrow. It enters its nest in October (some adults retire much earlier), rolls into a stiff ball, and decreases its respiration from between 100 and 200 breaths per minute to one breath about every five minutes. It emerges in March or early April. The burrow may be 15 to 20 feet (4.5–6 m) long, with several side passages. Most of the burrow is within 1 to 2 feet (about half a metre) of the surface, with only the hibernation nest in a special deeper section. Shorter burrows are dug as hiding places. Home range is 2 to 3 acres (0.8 to 1.2 ha). Primary diet includes grass and weed seeds, caterpillars, and grasshoppers, but may also eat bird flesh and even mice and shrews. This squirrel sometimes damages gardens by digging burrows and eating vegetables, but also devours weed seeds and harmful insects. Well known for standing upright to survey its domain, diving down into its burrow when it senses danger, then sometimes poking out its nose and giving a bird-like trill. It has a maximum running speed of 8 mph (13 km/h), and reverses direction if chased. Great numbers of these squirrels are killed by automobiles.

The t-shirt feels and looks great quality, a good thick cotton. It will be a little big for my son, but that means he will be able to wear it and not out grow it too soon. The print was as described on the order when personalised. True size, shape and colour T-shirt- thanks.

I brought this t-shirt for my snake obsessed Grandson. And I couldn’t be happier the t-shirt is of great quality while the snake print is bold and bright. He hasn’t seen it yet as it’s a birthday gift but I’ll know he’s going to love it as much as Grandma does. The price was great and great shipping all the way to New Zealand. Love Zazzle I’ll definitely be shopping with you again. Thank you 😊. The colours were bright and bold looked great on the navy background
