There are so many animals out there that we personally think do not get nearly enough love in the animal community. All day long, we talk about cats and dogs, and we have a tendency to forget anything else. Which - you know - cats and dogs are life, but still! As animal people, it is one of our obligations to give love to all animals out there, especially the underrated ones. And one of those hyper underrated animals is chipmunks. Yeah, they were slightly famous at one point because of those squeaky singing ones that were adorable, but - there is so much more to them.
Chipmunks are adorable. And, as far as we know, they don't actually sing all that much. But. Chipmunks love eating bananas, chipmunks are feisty, and they will attack a strawberry plant if they feel threatened by it. They're also really unexpectedly affectionate towards humans. One person built a little chipmunk a home in its house, and the chipmunk slept there. And today, that same person had a chipmunk come up to him and stick out its chin, patiently waiting for him to brush some dust off it. Yes, mmhm, our hearts definitely melted.
