A few weeks ago I was walking along and noticed what seemed to be a dead chipmunk. In fact there was another one lying on the sidewalk a few streets over. I sent this photo to some family members saying how sorry I was for these poor chipmunks. They took a closer look and told me it was a rat! Indeed it is. In my defence, I wasn't looking too closely as it is a sad picture.
My family had fun with this one.
In fact my daughter sent me this photo of a groundhog saying 'look at the size of this chipmunk mom!' and I was totally fooled again by my cheeky daughter.
