Are rock squirrels the same thing as a ground squirrel? I've never heard of a rock squirrel sorry!

There are three types of ground squirrels in the Sonoran desert: Harris’ antelope squirrels (which are not antelopes!), round-tailed squirrels, and rock squirrels. Rock squirrels are the largest of the three and they are the ones we're battling.

I've been using "ground squirrel" and "rock squirrel" interchangeably, sorry about the confusion!
