A thirteen-lined ground squirrel in the grass. The ground squirrel has its back to the camera with its head turned toward the right, looking over its shoulder. Its body is a yellow-ish tan with alternating thick brown stripes and thin tan stripes on its back. There are tan dots all the way down the brown stripes. It has very tiny ears at the back of its head and black eyes with light eye rings. The nose is also very short.

Thirteen-lined ground squirrel in the grass. The grass is about as tall as the animal. It is looking right. The ground squirrel is brown and has alternating brown and white stripes running from its head to its tail. in the brown stripes there are little white dots running all the way down. The tail can hardly be seen as it is hidden by the grass. It has a tiny ear which barely protrudes from its head, separated by a little space from its large black eye. There is a light circle around its eye and it has a very short nose, almost in line with the front of its face.
