Siberian Chipmunk | Siberische grondeekhoorn
The Tilburgse Wandelbos and Warandebos is where the Siberian chipmunk walks around freely. And they're such cute creatures. Much smaller than our native Red squirrel.
At the closure of the Tilburg zoo in 1973 (competition became too big), when the animals were moved, a box with these chipmunks fell on the ground, which then burst open. It was not possible to catch them, so more than 45 years later Siberian chipmunks can still be found in the wild in Tilburg.
