I posted this on the site but haven’t gotten any info about my question. I posted this video on YouTube. Would someone have a look and see if, the small “dot” in the middle of the chipmunk’s chest is reflective of a heartbeat? https://studio.youtube.com/video/mBkx8KNz3Q0/edit Thank you for viewing!

Welcome to the forum, Jerry!
You posted your edit link, which won’t work for viewers, but the link above will work.
I don’t think it’s a heartbeat. If you slow the video down and watch the breathing, the hole in the chest fur is synchronized with lung expansion. I don’t know why it has a missing patch of fur on its chest, though. It could be a botfly larva.

Thank you, Adam, for that info. I’ll be careful the next time to make sure I post the proper link! Have a great day!
