Researchers say the study "fundamentally changes our understanding of ground squirrels."
The study is based on observations from June to July by researchers at Briones Regional Park in Contra Costa County.
"I could barely believe my eyes," said Wild, a postdoctoral research fellow in the UC Davis Environmental Science and Policy department in a statement. "From then, we saw that behavior almost every day. Once we started looking, we saw it everywhere."
Scientists noted that the carnivorous activity peaked alongside the explosion of vole numbers at the park.
The study, which was led by both UC Davis and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, was published in the Journal of Ethology.
