She Sings, She Dances, but Not Really

Introducing our California Ground Squirrel, Woolsey! Rescued from the Woolsey, California wildfires in 2018 at just days old, she was rehabilitated by humans and deemed unreleasable by the Lindsay Wildlife Museum and their rehabilitation team. In need of a forever home, we were grateful to offer a stimulating space and top-quality care for her. She is currently enjoying burrowing, climbing, and frolicking about her exhibit as she makes progress on her training plan.

California Ground Squirrels are commonly seen in California and range from Western Oregon to Baja California. They typically live in burrows dug in fields, pastures and woodlands. Visit the Aquarium to enjoy her lively, curious spirit!
