Ground squirrels inhabit African savannas. Which adaptation helps the ground squirrels live in this biome?

African savannas are often dry and covered with tan grasses and soil. Tan coloring helps ground squirrels blend into these surroundings, making them harder for predators to spot. Thick fur is less useful in a warm biome, and white coloring would not camouflage them well.
