Well I haven't been much into the wilderness studies of creatures, and many squirrels have been in my life and until now, no chipmunks. Chipmunks reside in suburban areas, where I had been with Jim up until my mother moved me to the city. So, my education and growth in this way was stunted. In the city there are many squirrels, and I didn't know how similar chipmunks are to squirrels, or how different either. Now I see, that chipmunks have longer faces, chipmunks have colorful stripes, and appear longer in general than squirrels, but they do have tails that are just like squirrels. I suppose if one is just looking at the tail they wouldn't know the difference.
