EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a game of 'Who's Watching Who?' These two European sousliks have mastered the art of standing alert! With their beady eyes fixed on something in the distance, they look like they're ready to solve the greatest mystery Slovakia has ever seen. Are they guarding a hidden treasure or just trying to outdo each other in an intense staring contest? We may never know! These adorable ground squirrels, also known as Spermophilus citellus, are native to Europe and can be found scurrying around Slovakia's picturesque landscapes. Standing tall on their hind legs, these little rodents prove that size doesn't matter when it comes to being vigilant. Photographer Konrad Wothe perfectly captures this moment of pure concentration in his print from June 2008. The vertical composition adds an extra touch of drama as if these sousliks are auditioning for WWE wrestling! Don't let their small stature fool you; these vertebrates mean business. So next time you find yourself wandering through Europe's stunning wilderness, keep your eyes peeled for these alert sousliks. They might just inspire you with their unwavering focus and determination. And who knows? You might even catch them solving another one of nature's mysteries!
