Tiny chipmunk has lucky escape from hungry owl

This is the hair raising moment a tiny chipmunk had a lucky escape from a swooping owl thanks to its lightning fast reflexes. Video footage shows the eastern chipmunk venturing out of hibernation only to be hunted by a barred owl for over an hour. Incredibly, the chipmunk gives the owl the slip by performing lightning fast manoeuvres before diving into a hiding place. The canny chipmunk evades the winged menace time and time again, despite the bird of prey's best attempt to flush the rodent out of his hiding place. Filmed on 15th April 2020
