20 Charming Pictures of Ground Squirrels and Chipmunks
Ground squirrels and chipmunks look so similar that they’re often confused with each other–or, at least, they’re both called chipmunks. You can tell the difference between the two mostly by their size (chipmunks are smaller) and by the markings on their heads: chipmunks have stripes across their faces, while ground squirrels have no stripes, only white circles around their eyes. Regardless of which species you’re photographing, though, they’re both incredibly clever and charming, anything that will persuade their audiences into throwing nuts.

Love the compromising situations these little fellas find themselves in! I especially love the little guy drinking from the teacup.

They are so cute. I wish we had them in New Zealand, but if we did I’m sure they would be a major pest just like possums.

Here’s a link to a lot of chipmunk and ground squirrel photos. It’s one of my specialties! http://www.redbubble.com/people/livehonestly. Two of my chipmunk/squirrel photos made the National Geographic online edition. I’m not trying to sell you anything. If you like fun photos take a peek at the link provided.
Cheers,

I love your pictures! I actually saw the chipmunk in a pair of jeans picture yesterday via the National Geographic facebook page. So cool! Thanks for sharing the rest.
