Marmotini and Xerini

This article talk as if "ground squirrel" means only Marmotini tribe, but Xerini article says that the squirrels part of Xerini tribe are ground squirrels, too. --NGC 54 (talk | contribs) 20:17, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable sentence included in "Diet" section

The 'Diet' section says "They are known to eat rats and mice several times their size." Are there rats or mice that are "several times" the size of a ground squirrel? I rather doubt it. I do not have the information required to fix this and am unsure of what the OP was trying to say. I do not believe the sentence as it is written was the intent of the OP. Someone with better knowledge of the topic should revise this. 2400:4050:C983:9A00:A5A2:992C:B6E2:827 (talk) 00:00, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removed it. The sentence was cited to a report that I found online at https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA071160, but I didn't find any discussion of ground squirrels eating rats or mice in it. In any case, it's not a great source for discussing the diet of ground squirrels in general. Ucucha (talk) 01:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
