heme42 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This is either a five-lined skink (most likely) or southeastern five-lined skink. Apparently the scales have to be examined to differentiate. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the scales have to be examined to differentiate. Looks like Common Five-lined to me. Southeastern’s middle stripe would be noticeably thinner than the rest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Friedman Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel, Deception Peak. I'm not an expert on animal behavior, but I suspect that some hikers who take a break up here are feeding this animal. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels, once they become used to people, can become very tame and friendly even without people feeding them. But, people are people, so this little guy probably has had plenty of handouts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be too hard. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the way she [*] was sniffing around me and looking that anything that moved while I was eating lunch, I got the impression she was more hungry than friendly. By the way, I meant to say "Deception Peak, near Santa Fe, N.M." [*] I could see where her nipples were, so I think she was a she. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Here are some unidentified chipmunks I had in different places (but on a similar rock) in the Tahoe area that I've been too lazy to try to identify. Any ideas @Seanbirds? Most Chipmunks in the area are Long-eared, though I've seen Allen's and Yellow-pine in the area.

Probably a Lodgepole as well, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
