My FIL calls chipmunks "rats in mink coats".Tree rat. Squirrels are closely related to rats.
A cousin and I went to high school together. one day in biology class the teacher told us about squirrels and rats. Don went home and at supper told his dad that squirrels and rats were related. Now our dads and we boys usually went squirrel hunting together, but after my uncle heard that about squirrels he never went squirrel hunting again, nor would he ever eat one again.My FIL calls chipmunks "rats in mink coats".
I can relate to those crazy critters, during my military service in a country in Southeast Asia we had talking lizards, (F some will recall that and others) spiders, and birds, the first time I heard a bullet like a zip ZIPPING sound, and asking what kind of bug that was?Life on the road is certainly an adventure, isn't it? I once woke up at 5:30 am and lying on my side in bed, I opened my eyes in the semi-darkness and discovered an ambitious tree frog about 8" from my nose climbing his way up my wall. I gently wrapped him in a paper towel and evicted him through my side door. Luckily, however, I have not yet found squashed dead critters of any sort anywhere inside or outside!
