    Just to point out that European Souslik is NOT the only one ground squirrel in Europe. In Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and a place in Poland lives even the Spotted (or Speckled) Souslik Spermophilus suslicus. The outskirts of Odessa are a good place for them.

    Even the Alpine Marmot is a ground squirrel. All three species are endemic of Europe.

    Thanks, Ralf, very readable. I am looking forward to my next trip to Austria so that I can try some of these sites.
