CHEEKY CHIPMUNK WITHDRAWS HIS GENEROUS OFFER

A cheeky chipmunk offers some of his spare food, before deciding against the idea and shoving the extra peanut into his already crammed mouth. These cute photographs of a 'least chipmunk' were captured by Canadian photographer Gordon Keith Parrott, 58, after he spotted the chipmunk offering out his nuts at his home in Toronto, Canada. 'This little chipmunk picked up the first peanut and proceeded to lick it until it was coated with his saliva and then easily slid it into his cheek,' explains Gordon.
