Chipmunk

They - from the genus Tamias (花栗鼠) - are the cutest rodent ever!! It must be play time for them at the Kellogg Biological Station because they were all over the place! However, chipmunks are pretty hard to capture because they are soooo tiny - which means we have to get pretty close to them - and they run very fast!!!

Ping did capture a few while they were busy rummaging through the mulch.
Can you find the chipmunk?

The best one was when Ping was walking up the stairs
It is probably one of those nuts from the trees but it is just hilarious that the tiny little one can fit such a huge nut into its mouth.
