Golden-Mantled Ground Squirrel by Debra Martz A small squirrel like a chipmunk, with grayish-brown fur & 2 white stripes edged with black. I first saw one of these at Bryce Canyon, I thought it was a Chipmunk. When I started trying ID the variety, I discovered it was a squirrel. 4 years later I see another one, this time in New Mexico but I knew it was not a Chipmunk this time.
