ThylacineAlive 15 Mar 2025 Snake River Plain Ground Squirrel, U. (mollis) idahoensis, at the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, Idaho. April 16, 2023. Recently split from the Piute Ground Squirrel on genetic grounds (UNCG researcher identifies new American mammal | Research & Engagement). Not sure if the split will hold, but the news prompted me to post my photos anyhow!
