I had a friend from Australia visiting here a few years ago, and they were *utterly awestruck* by how adorable these little creatures are. They're so skittish (and so fast!) I had no idea they were omnivorous and antisocial... and could be so aggressive during mating season. I also remember seeing one trap itself when it climbed into a gutter pipe and couldn't climb up it - the only exit being past me. Instead of making a run for it, it... decided to *scream*. It wasn't just that iconic "peep" noise - it was long and drawn out. I thought it was scared... but now I'm not so sure.

Animals reflexes have always astonished me, a couple weeks back one of my brothers cats began hanging around a corner of a wall with a small hole and out of curiosity I watched him, he was hunting a mouse, decided I'd clear out the area and we'd get it together, dimmed the light and laid in wait with him, sure enough it comes out and he pounces, think the mouse was nipping at him because he had to back off and re-adjust multiple times. One of the times it breaks loose my way and I go to trap it but miss and it shoots toward my leg so I lift it and lost sight, look around and can't see it anywhere, glance at the cat and he had it pinned again, before it even got near me he had grabbed it and backed away in the time it took me to move my head. Really appreciated just how fast and precise cats are that night

I started putting out bird seed and nuts for the local birds and squirrels and taking my morning coffee on my deck. It was literally only two weeks before one chipmunk was comfortable jumping from a chair, to my knee to the table, (even though the shorter route was directly from arm of chair to table) to vacuum seeds into his mouth until his cheeks were full. He then scampers off for a few minutes before repeating the process, very cute.

Thank you for the information; it answered so many of my questions since I have both chipmunks and squirrels in my back yard.

I remember being in the Grand Canyon and being at this place with a huge patio overlooking the canyon and there were a few squirrels and chipmunks around. I had bought a stuffed animal chipmunk about 2 days prior (which I still have), and set it on the ground in front of me and they came up to it to look at it, they even sniffed me a little (probably because it smelled like me, I guess) and just chilled there for a minute before leaving since it wasn't doing anything, lol. It was pretty cool.

A while ago we saved a tiny wild sick chipmunk circling in the middle of traffic. After 2days of recovery it began escaping/exploring the house but avoiding us at the same time. I can attest that chipmunk is really a creature of organization. It has its schedule, bathroom area, tidy clean sleep area (behind the cushion of our couch) and storeroom. We released him afterwards to our backyard and this little guy now lives healthy & happily ever but still it doesn't like human contact and we respect that

In eastern Pennsylvania, where we live there are hundreds of eastern chipmunks, living amongst the agricultural piles of rock all throughout the woods. They’re so curious and so friendly if you have a treat like a peanut. With time they trust you and you can get them to climb up your lap and feed right out of your hand, it’s an amazing experience!

Hey Team, thanks for great info about the North American Chipmunks! Just wanted to add something. In India, we almost exclusively have chipmunks, and not squirrels, living in both human inhabited and forest areas. Though they differ from the ones shown in the video (longer and slightly bushier tail for example), Indian chipmunks have known to live exclusively in the trees, making homes in the cavities of tree trunks. I was pleasantly surprised when there was no mention of the Indian species/variety of chipmunks in the video. Food for thought?
