13 lined ground squirrel

This little cutie was hanging out on the walking path. He or she was cooperative for one shot then off they scampered. A first for me.

Such interesting furs.

I've never seen or heard of one of these- but they do look a lot like Chipmunks. Good catch!

It’s very different than our ground squirrel with all those dots and lines.

I am back to thinking this is a chipmunk. It says that a ground squirrel does not have markings/stripes on their head.
