Description
The Siberian Chipmunk is the only chipmunk species found in the wild outside North America. I often hear its high-pitched chirp before I see it. They love rocky areas in the mountains of Korea, and they are often found near temples, though I don’t think they’re particularly spiritual. This one was sitting on a very large rock beside a river the other day. After finishing its meal it had a rocket-fueled chase with another chipmunk, round and round like a game of tag.
Specific Feedback
Would you have preferred to see sharp focus on the moss in front of the animal?
