That's a beautiful photo!
Once my friends and I were driving through the mountains (I live in Colorado), and at this scenic stopping point where people would often stop and take pictures, we did that, and there was a chipmunk with no fear of humans, either. I wondered if he was often fed by the people stopping, and so thought of humans as treat-givers. 😂
Hahah yes it can be that!! The animals can surprise us with their intelligence, so cute that we can be so close to them 🥰😍
