    I absolutely love them, and over the last couple of months have become quite close to 4 that live on the ranch I'm working on. They'll eat peanuts from our hands now and are just the best for relieving works stress. I throw seed and peanuts around 4x4's and some piles of wood, I just love watching them scurry all over them though out the day, and they recognize me now, they are so friggin cute.

    During the winter, chipmunks will not be asleep for the entire season as most other hibernators do. They will typically retreat back to their burrows. Occasionally, they wake up to bring their body temperature back to normal.
    When they are on these awake breaks, the chipmunks will feed on the food stored over time to build up their fat reserves. This is very important for the cold season aa it allows them to stay protected from the cold. Every few days, the chipmunk wakes up for temperature adjustment, has a few more nuts, and quietly goes back to sleep for some more days.

    I love seeing Chipmunks, with their cute heads popping up to scope out the surroundings....lol
    If I found a lost or injured Chipmunk that wanted to hang around, yep, I'd take him in to cherish...but also give him freedom to go back and forth.

    Where I live I have only ever seen 1 chipmunk at a time and only rarely, so I haven't been able to figure out how many might live nearby. Gret squirrels on the other hand, i've been able to count as many as a dozen different squirrels in the 8 years i've lived here. 🥰 I love when I catch them running around the trees, the ground and my second floor porch! 😍

    I'm about 90% sure the animal at 2:11 is an "Indian palm squirrel", not a chipmunk. I used to confuse them, until I started seeing videos of people rescuing them and keeping them as pets. They do look very similar.
    The palm squirrel is significantly smaller than north American squirrels, and has distinct lines on its back, like chipmunks. But the palm squirrel has a much longer tail, and a long-ish, pointy head, with a nose that noticeably protrudes beyond it's mouth.
