A ground squirrel, likely Xerus inauris, stands on its hind legs amidst a field of green shrubs with small purple flowers in Karoo National Park. The squirrel's fur is a mix of brown and beige with a distinctive white stripe along its side. Its bushy tail is extended behind. The surrounding vegetation includes dusty patches of dry soil, characteristic of the semi-arid region. The scene is vibrant with the contrast of the colorful flora against the earthy tones of the squirrel and ground.
