Chipmunk in the snow

This poor little guy was soaking wet, but seemingly oblivious. Wildlife around here has evolved to cope with these minor setbacks and probably cope much better than we do. It is the freaks of nature, the summer snowstorms, the unusual and extreme cold in late spring, the torrential rains in the dry season, and so on, that cause real problems for wildlife. This light snow and temperatures hovering at freezing are entirely within their coping mechanism!
