Chipmunk, you say? No, it's a golden-mantled ground squirrel (Spermophilus lateralis). A chipmunk is smaller with a white line extending into its face. This brazen young fellow poses and mooches for food from other tourists and me on a trail at the High Desert Museum near Bend, Oregon. Tapir and Friends Animal Store has a wide variety of plastic squirrels for sale and adorable stuffed plush squirrels as well.
