It was love at first sight for a baby chipmunk who stumbled upon a teddy bear during a garden outing.
花栗鼠寶寶在花園中游玩時突然被一只泰迪熊絆倒，于是對它一見鐘情。

The young golden-mantled ground chipmunk planted a smacker on the pink stuffed toy after a few minutes of courtship in a garden in Colorado, U.S.
在美國科羅拉多州一個花園里，幾分鐘的求愛之后，披著金色皮毛的花栗鼠朝著這只粉色玩具泰迪熊吧唧親了一口。

At first the chipmunk was suspicious of his new friend and approached the teddy bear with caution, but after a quick check, there was no denying the connection.
一開始，花栗鼠對它的新朋友抱有懷疑，小心翼翼地接近它，不過花栗鼠快速確認(rèn)沒有危險之后，它們之間就產(chǎn)生了火花。

He gradually gained more confidence, plucking up the courage to examine the teddy more closely, and appeared to plant a kiss on the toy's mouth. Then, in an almost human-like reaction, the chipmunk shut his eyes tight and clasped his hands together in a joy-like pose.
他開始漸漸自信起來，鼓起勇氣從近距離觀察泰迪熊，并且在泰迪熊的嘴上吻了一吻。接著，花栗鼠像人類一樣閉上眼睛、握緊手，看起來好像很快樂。

The heart-warming pose was captured by photographer Betsy Seeton, 55, who had put the teddy outside her home for the squirrel to play with.
這個溫馨的動作被55歲的攝影師Betsy Seeton抓拍下來，而這只泰迪熊就是她放到屋外給松鼠玩的。

The chipmunk is a frequent visitor at Betsy's house and she has even nicknamed him Jasper. She said that watching Jasper examine the teddy bear was like watching a toddler meet a new friend.
這只花栗鼠一直會到Betsy的家附近來，她甚至給他取了一個昵稱，叫Jasper。她說，她看著Jasper觀察泰迪熊就好像看到了一個小孩交了新朋友一樣。

Betsy said: ‘I put the teddy bear outside my home for fun and to see what Jasper would do. Jasper stayed with the bear for at least a couple of minutes - and I definitely think it looked like Jasper gave the teddy bear a kiss.
Betsy說：“我為了好玩，把這只泰迪熊放在家門口，想看看Jasper會有什么反應(yīng)。Jasper和泰迪熊至少在一起待了幾分鐘——我覺得Jasper看起來絕對像是親了泰迪熊一下?！?

‘It is always fun to watch Jasper, and all the other squirrels and chipmunks that visit our home, playing and learning.
“看著Jasper還有其他松鼠、花栗鼠到我們家來玩是件很有意思的事?！?/div>

‘The curious behaviour is typical of these animals, they are always looking for nuts. Of all the photos I have taken, these ones are definitely up there in terms of how cute they are.’
“好奇是這些動物的特點，它們總是在到處找堅果。在我拍的所有照片里，這幾張絕對算是超級可愛的?！?/div>
