Amazing to be able to hold this little guy without spooking him, and take these great photos with the other hand. How did you do this? Where did you find this critter?

Linda, I though that he was pretty cute, so I had to try and get some photos. I actually held him in one hand and took photos with the other.

Doug, I think that He didn't want to jump because he was very young. I don't think I could have held an adult long enough to get the photos. I got him because he was in a nest in the engine compartment of my mom's Jeep. I actually caught a couple of them and then turned them lose.

Tony & Darcy, Thank you. I actually caught him using both hands as he moved across the top of the engine in the Jeep.

Dear Gary -

Now that animal is small enough to be so cute! Nonetheless, you had heavy gloves on to be sure its little teeth couldn't get you!

Have a happy day -

Mark & Tim, Thank you. It was really tiny.

Endre, Thank you. And I let the little one go immediately after taking these photos.

Lynn, Even though he was tiny, I figured that his teeth were big enough to do some painful damage. Hope you have a happy day too. Thanks for stopping by.

Kristin, Thank you. I had fun taking these photos. I've taken lots of chipmunk photos but these are my favorites.

Charles, Thank you. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend too -- and enjoy your Halloween.

See It. Experience It. Live It.

How cute! As I was admiring how you were able to get it to stay in your hand, I was wondering how it even got in your hand in the first place. I'm glad you explained that part in your comments. I definitely wouldn't want chipmunks in my Jeep.

Sondra, Thank you. I wasn't too surprised that I could catch him there on top of the engine but I was a little surprised that he didn't try to jump off. I think an adult would have been gone long before I could have snapped a picture. Have a wonderful day.

Okay I see Chip but where's Dale? And I gotta know. Did you just have to walk up to him and pick him up or did you coax him onto the glove with some sort of food ? Used to have a prairie dog for a pet and they are wicked good biters! The glove was a smart move anything with teeth should be cautioned around. lol ( J )

I bet that prairie dog could bite -- I didn't want to take any chances with Chip. Dale ran off before I could get a photo with both of them. LOL

At some scenic areas there are some that are so tame they would probably let you hold them but these weren't very tame. The only way I got him was by grabbing quickly.

Oh my, what great pictures and an adorable "Chipper". I love watching them running to and fro and jumping with the squirrels.
