The red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) inhabiting the pine forest trail of Yeongok Beach (연곡해변솔밭길) in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, are part of the eastern range of this species. In South Korea, these squirrels are typically classified as the subspecies S. v. coreae (also known as S. v. coreanus), which is adapted to the country’s temperate coniferous and mixed forests. In this area, they live among coastal pine trees, feeding primarily on pine seeds, buds, and fungi.
The forested area near the East Sea provides them with a stable habitat rich in vegetation, ideal for their diurnal activity and territorial behavior. They are often seen in the early mornings, moving swiftly through the trees—especially in autumn, when they gather food for the winter.

Continuing with my photos from our most recent excursion. Though not as well known as the larger wildlife species of the prairie, the Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrel is widely distributed over grasslands and prairies in North America. I've seen several over the years, but this is the first one I was able to photograph. It was foraging in a Prairie Dog town in Custer State Park, South Dakota.

I saw one of these in a picnic area, and it was very shy. Like the fox squirrel of the East, it would descend a tree to retreat from me--scary person with a camera.
I've been wanting to see these for years, but have missed them on a number of visits to their range.
