Mountain ground squirrel
The Mountain Ground Squirrel (''Xerus princeps'') is a rodent that is native to southwestern Angola, western Namibia, and western South Africa. It is also known as the Kaoko Ground Squirrel or the Damara Ground Squirrel.
It is the closest relative of the Cape Ground Squirrel (Latin name ''Xerus inauris''), which is so similar in appearance that the two are difficult to distinguish in the field. Both species have long bushy black and white tails with a white stripe from the shoulder towards the rump. ''Xerus princeps'' is slightly larger, on average, than ''X. inauris'', although there is considerable overlap in body size. Differences in skull morphology also distinguish the two species, and the incisors are yellow to orange rather than white as in ''X. inauris''.〔〔
==Distribution==
The mountain ground squirrel is restricted to a narrow band of the southwest arid region of Africa from southern Angola to southern Namibia and as far south as Richtersveld National Park.〔
