Capturing this picture was the luck of the draw as two Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels peer over a rock in Parc Omega in Montebello, Quebec.

Two cute little Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels peek over the top of the rock at each other in Omega Park in Montebello, Quebec. These little creatures represent that of a chipmunk with their coloring and stripes down their back but differ in that it does not have stripes on its face.
