A Squirrel! 
...Or Maybe a Chipmunk?

Animals you are more likely to see today includes squirrels and chipmunks. Golden-mantled squirrels and Least Chipmunks look a lot alike. The easiest way to tell them apart is to look at their stripes. Least chipmunks have stripes on their faces and backs. Golden-mantled squirrels' stripes run along only their sides. The next time you see one ask yourself: is it a chipmunk or a squirrel? No matter what animals you see, remember that they're all wild. This is their home, so please leave them alone. Human food is not good for them, and if you get your fingers too close they'll bite!
