Least Chipmunk Pup
Tamias minimus (pup)
Least chipmunk pups remain in a grass-lined underground nest while dependent on their mother. As they grow, they begin exploring close to the burrow and nibbling seeds, tender plants, and small insects. Their pale juvenile stripes help break up their outline among dry grass and leaf litter.
