Bio: Least chipmunks (Tamias minimus) are the smallest of all chipmunks. Found throughout the boreal and temperate forests of North America. However, least chipmunks prefer more open areas such as forest edges and openings. Because they hibernate, these chipmunks are heterothermic. However, their body temperature remains relatively constant over short spans of time. Least chipmunks are diurnal. And, in general, are not social, except for mating and rearing young. As animals that carry nuts and seeds from one place to another, least chipmunks are probably very important in seed dispersal (Ref..Animal Diversity Web)

Lucky, an American Black Bear, cools off in a pool at the North American Bear Center in Ely, Minnesota. This remarkable facility has a compound area for rescued bears, a viewing area, exhibits, and tours. They also engage in bear behavioral research.
Lucky, an American Black Bear, takes a little swim in the pool. He is apparently really enjoying himself. The North American Bear Center is a remarkable facility with an equally remarkable staff.
