a wonderfully realistic, intricately hand-painted, hand-made sculpture of a wild woodland creature most closely resembling a Columbian Ground Squirrel, a mostly-vegetarian forager of alpine meadows in Canada and northwestern U.S.. As the photos hopefully show you, the "fur" hide of this animal is intricately textured and painted; teeth (rodentia), whiskers, ears, toes (four), claws, are all formed in terrific detail! Dimensions: True to scale! 11 3/4 inches nose to tail, 5 1/2 inches high and about 3 inches broad at the hip
