That's a hot dog!😂
I just realised that I've never seen a chipmunk before. I had google to see the difference between them and squirrels. I do notice the distinct stripes.
I just came back from the woods, and the squirrels were out in their numbers. All week I've been looking for some to take photos with my camera, and not even one was in sight.
Lovely autumn colours there!
Happy Sunday:)
The chipmunks stay on the ground and burrow in the ground whereas squirrels go up in trees. Chipmunks are a lot smaller too. Quite a bit smaller than a Red Squirrel. Tiny in comparison to a black or grey.
What kind of squirrels do you have in the UK? I'm guessing red...
Geez! I didn't realise there were so many different kinds of squirrels. I have seen red and grey ones. Yesterday, they were all grey. My cat loves to watch them from the window 😆
The only similar (ish) thing we have in Jamaica is the mongoose.
Grey and black are the most similar. Only the color seems to be different. Red and grey/black are quite different and then chipmunks are much different again. Mongoose are in the Weasel family I think
Yeah, that sounds right, along with Badgers, Otter and Mink... all of these things I'm not familiar with. I remember my husband pointed out an otter (I think), once on the canals. It was swimming fast like crazy. It looked like a massive rat to me 😅
I did not realize that otters were in that family as well but I guess it makes sense. Interesting. Evolution at work
