4. European souslik

OK so you might be wondering why the over elaborate name for a squirrel? Well the the simplest answer is because it sounds better! Yes it is just a squirrel but more specifically the European souslik is the common ground squirrel of Europe and Asia so its likely that not everyone will be familiar with this particular species. Although physically very similar to other species of squirrel the European souslik is worth a mention due to its unique diet that most people probably don’t know about because the European souslik actually can eat quite an amount of meat unlike other rodents. Common meals for the European souslik include mice, voles and even small birds.
