They are also mistaken, there are no chipmunks on the Canary islands, they are barbary ground squirrels. Take a look at the head there are no stripes on it, siberian chipmunks have stripes on the head. The tails are also different.

Compare the two pics side by side and you will see the differences

here is the chipmunk one use the link above for thquirrel

They are clearly different.
