What is another word for arctic ground squirrel?
Pronunciation: [ˈɑːktɪk ɡɹˈa͡ʊnd skwˈɪɹə͡l] (IPA) 
The Arctic ground squirrel is a small, burrowing rodent that inhabits the tundra regions of North America. It is also known by several other names, including the tundra ground squirrel, Alaskan ground squirrel, and Siberian ground squirrel. The arctic ground squirrel has adapted to survive in the harsh Arctic environment, where temperatures can plummet to below freezing. It hibernates for up to nine months, and during the summer months, it collects food to store in its underground den. While its name suggests it lives only in the Arctic, the Arctic ground squirrel can also be found in sub-Arctic regions and high-altitude areas in the United States and Canada.
