A ground squirrel (Xerus inauris) is seen in a sandy area, standing on its hind legs, sniffing vibrant purple flowers. The flowers, with green foliage, are scattered around, suggesting a semi-arid landscape typical of Karoo National Park, South Africa. The squirrel's fur is a mix of light brown and white, with distinctive stripes along its body. Its bushy tail is visible as it balances while curiously interacting with the plant.
