Description
A tiny Chipmunk hiding in Cherry Tree, captured in our Cherry Tree in Colorado. He was not frightened, he was curious and after some time, my Husband was able to pick him out of the tree and put him on his shoulder....carried him that way away from the house and back into the forest...where he belonged. He was not afraid of humans as I don't believe he was old enough to be or had not experienced them before....he was a little delight! Hope you have enjoyed viewing this tiny little creature..he was wonderful to photograph and present to you. Thanks for viewing, stick around and see the rest in my gallery! Chipmunks are small, striped rodents of the family Sciuridae. All species of chipmunks are found in North America, with the exception of the Siberian chipmunk, which is found in Asia. Chipmunks typically live about three years, although have been observed living to nine years in captivity.
Chipmunks in captivity are said to sleep for an average of about 15 hours a day. It is thought that mammals which can sleep in hiding, such as rodents and bats, tend to sleep longer than those that must remain on alert. (Wikipedia)
