White-Tailed Antelope Ground Squirrels: Planking

Have you heard of "planking?"

It's the latest trend where a person lies down, stiff as a board usually in a weird place. But it doesn't only involve people but ground squirrels as well. White-tailed antelope ground squirrels to be exact.


White-tailed antelope ground squirrels galore are found in Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park behind the visitors' center under the bird feeder collecting fallen bird seed. And if you watch long enough, you'll find a squirrel "planking." 

Those ground squirrels are soooo trendy.
