Hey, these are my nuts!

F/5.6, 1/160, ISO 800.

Eastern Chipmunk

Why did the skeleton burp?

Because it didn’t have the guts to fart.

Interesting Fact: A chipmunk’s cheeks can expand to three times the size of its head and they have pouches in their cheeks where they hold their food until they get back to store it in their burrows ( http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/pet-advice/fun-interesting-facts-about-chipmunks.html )

    He looks so cute šŸ™‚ , nice info nugget on chipmunks tho. One question, what’s the difference between a squirrel and a chipmunk? They kinda look the same to me.

      Thank you for enjoying my work. Chipmunks and squirrels are very similar but they are in fact two different species. Squirrels are larger and live on the ground and trees while chipmunks are smaller and burrow underground to nest. šŸ™‚
