hi folks in today's vlog we're going to video and film one of Fuerteventura's
most popular species. It's actually an invasive species that you can find all over the island.
Now most invasive species aren't really well tolerated but when you're this cute you can get
away with anything! We're of course talking about the island's Barbary Ground Squirrels
usually referred to locally as 'Chipmunks' . Now they aren't closely related to Chipmunks. They
originated from Algeria and Morocco and were introduced as a pair to the island sometime
in the 1960s, and the rest is history. These little fellows are really popular with tourists.
Now we're going to try and encourage a few, we'll see if we can get a few out, so we can take some
photos and video we'll be using a JVC video camera on the ground to see if we can get some squirrel
level footage, and we're going to be using the fz82 as a zoom to take some still images.
So that's a little look at our furry friends from Fuerteventura
as ever if you've enjoyed the vlog please do give it a thumbs up and if you're not a
