He has a sweet little smile and is happy enjoying his lunch. What is the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel?

I did some research and chipmunks are small mammals with distinct stripes, while the tree squirrel is larger and doesn’t have stripes.

So cute 🙂 Squirrels are lovely, although we had one in our loft recently and it made a total racket and took us days to catch him!

Lovely captures. The common Indian squirrel also known as The Indian palm squirrel has three stripes in its back.

Very busy little creatures. Must be fun to be able to climb trees like that.

Yes they run so fast and climb trees. My puppy drags me across the trail to grab a chipmunk.
