Even Ground Squirrels Got In On the Vole Feast Last Summer
For the first time, scientists documented concerted carnivory by California ground squirrels. But why were there so many voles?
I’m a 20-year-old wildlife conservation photographer and undergraduate at UC Berkeley. I use photography as a way to communicate wildlife science and conservation to the public. My work largely focuses on wild animals in urban settings across the Bay Area and the struggles they face in a human dominated environment. I hope to pursue a career in conservation photojournalism to help raise awareness for wildlife all over the world. On Instagram: @vishalsubramanyan
