Least Chipmunk

avatar

These guys are much harder to photograph then you might think. Very fast moving and hard to capture. It is a Least Chipmunk (Tamias minimus), the smallest species of chipmunk measuring about 15.7–25 cm (6.2–9.8 in) in total length with a weight of 25–66 g (0.88–2.33 oz). Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

He's such a cutie! I had one climb into my hand at Moraine Lake. They are fast moving and hard to capture, great shot! Gotta love our Rockies, thanks for sharing.

In Siberia, these guys are not particularly difficult to photograph, especially if you treat them.

Hmm. Perhaps just because they are somewhat domesticated if your feeding them

They are very fast, I have tried to photograph them and I only manage to capture branches. Very good photo
