OK. looked at all the cute pics, but still do not understand the difference between a squirrel and a chipmunk.

Hear squirrels referred to as tree rats, so assume they are rodents of some species. Not heard of chipmunks being called that.

Number 36 is the only chipmunk shown. They’re MUCH tinier. And faster than a squirrel. Only thing like the two that’s even faster is a small red squirrel. Those are aggressive and chase the larger animals away. But no idea of the genus/species connections.
