The Siberian chipmunk or common chipmunk (Eutamias sibiricus)

Chipmunk is a very cute and beautiful little animal of the squirrel family.
It is believed that they are not aggressive, but this is not the case. Chipmunks are rather impatient with each other. Only in the mating season, they reluctantly look for a "soul mate" to have offspring. The rest of the time they live alone.

I would compare their character with Bilbo Baggins, who really disliked the guests :)
In this photo you can see that he collected provisions in his cheeks.
Thus, they collect stocks and carry them to their home, in which there are small rooms for warehouses with food.
They eat this food in winter, when they wake up briefly during hibernation to to eat.

Didn't know there are The Siberian chipmunk.
Good to know they are there living in cold area.

Thanks for the comment! From the cold, they are saved by hibernation :) They are even kept as pets.
