San Diego Zoo scientists relocate squirrels to aide owls near San Diego

A California ground squirrel darts off on its mission to help burrowing owels on August 23, 2011, in San Diego County. To date, the Zoo's newest hometown conservation program has relocated more than 350 squirrels to three sites within San Diego County that are thought to be suitable habitat for squirrels and owls. The ground squirrels play a critical role as grassland engineers, creating homes for other animals such as owls. UPI/Ken Bohn/San Diego Zoo Global
