Subject: RE: GAH! Giant Squirrel!ahhh I love squirrels (ask my wife!) and thought it is hard to say from that picture I would lean more towards a squirrel than a prairie dog due to the skinnier face. Granted they are both members of the scurridea family so close evolutionary relatives but I believe that ground squirrels may be more populous in that area. a quick check of Banff National parks websight reveals two species of Ground squirrel are found in the park and no prairie dog species...somehow I feel justified!
