Description

This little guy was absolutely fearless, knowing he would get a treat out of us greenhorn tourists. As the pecan in his little mitts shows, he was right. :^) As you can see, they are very similar to chipmunks, the difference being that the chippies' stripes are on their backs while the squirrels wear their racing stripes on their sides. Hope you all get a nice treat very soon and Thanks for Looking! Ken

Boy, was I wrong Ken, I thought this was gonna be a sex romp starring Rocky & Bullwinkle !!! So, do the racing stripes allow this critter mugg greenhorns more quickly ? or just get away from the Park Rangers quicker ? O.K., enough with the bad jokes, this is really ace nature capture, dig DOF, lighting and chipmunk...oop's, squirrel ! ~Cheerio~

GT-stripes, what's next ? Polka dots ?.... I cannot believe how tame these little critters are, never seen those ones in our neck of the woods, only Koala's, Bilby's and Bandicoots. Instant FAV, Ken...thanx for sharing. BB
