Chipmunks and Squirrels

Yes they can. I just read in a fact book that they cant find sixty percent of the nuts they hid for winter.

Squirrels are found all over the world, with different species originating from different regions. The Eastern gray squirrel, one of the most common species, is native to the eastern United States. Other species can be found in Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Chipmunks make their nests by burrowing into or under items wherein they can bring a variety of dried flora and/or manmade materials including straw, grass, hay, chewed paper, string and a variety of other items. Chipmunks will also inhabit enclosed spaces in automobiles if given the opportunity.

Squirrels typically range in size between 5 to 18 inches in length, with their tails making up a significant portion of their overall size. Standing upright, they can reach around 6 to 10 inches in height.

Some potential dangers in a chipmunk's environment include predators such as hawks, owls, foxes, and domestic cats. Other dangers could include extreme weather conditions, such as severe cold or heat, which can impact their ability to find food and shelter. Additionally, human activities like habitat destruction, pollution, and road traffic can pose risks to chipmunks in their environment.

Yes, chipmunks typically live in forests, woodlands, or areas with dense vegetation. They prefer habitats with ample cover, such as fallen logs or bushes, to hide from predators. Chipmunks are skilled climbers and burrowers, making forested areas ideal for their survival.

Squirrels commonly live in tree nests, called dreys, which are made of twigs, leaves, and other vegetation. They may also create dens in tree cavities or build underground burrows. Their choice of habitat can vary depending on the species and the environment in which they live.

Flying squirrels have a flap of skin called a patagium that stretches between their front and back legs. When they jump from a height, they spread their limbs, allowing the patagium to catch the air and glide like a parachute. They can steer and control their flight by adjusting the position of their limbs and tail.

A Chipmunk kachina doll is painted in yellow and has three black stripes running across the body and the face. It is used as a religious icon to teach people basic skills and how to survive in nature.

Chipmunks typically measure about 5 to 6 inches in length, with their tail adding another 3 to 5 inches.

The squirrel without hair on its tail is known as the bald squirrel. This condition can be caused by a genetic mutation or a parasite infestation. It does not harm the squirrel's health, but it affects its ability to communicate and regulate body temperature.

Firstly, the life cycle is this: 1.)An Female Adult gives birth 2.) The baby chipmunks stay inside they burrow with there mother for about 6 to 8 weeks. 3.) As chipmunks mature, they have babies.

4.) The chipmunk life cycle starts over again. That was extra. With this information, zoologists can determine that chipmunks live to be about 3-5 years.

Absolutely negative. It is a rodent. A "tree rat". Marsupials have pouches where their young develop after birth. Squirrels do not. Kangaroo rats are not marsupials either. Although Margaret Thatcher has a pouch, she is not a true marsupial.

After observing squirrels in my yard, I asked myself, Why do they bury acorns when there are thousands laying on the ground. The answer is actually very ingenious. Burying the acorns subjects them to moisture which in turn causes them split open and sprout, the squirels don't have to remember where they buried them. They just look for the tiny seedlings emerging and know that underneath is a yummy, nutritious snack and mother nature has already cracked the shell open for them. I have verifiied this through observation. Again, quite ingenious, because any acorns that are missed become new oak trees, insuring the propagation of more trees.

A squirrel's hand consists of multiple bones, including the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. There are typically five metacarpal bones in a squirrel's hand, which are connected to the digits through the phalanges. The exact number of bones in a squirrel's hand can vary slightly depending on the species, but generally, there are around 18-20 bones in total in a squirrel's hand.

Yes, chipmunks are omnivores, meaning they eat a variety of foods including seeds, nuts, fruits, insects, and small animals. They primarily feed on seeds and nuts but also consume insects and other small animals to supplement their diet.

Squirrels can be found in a variety of habitats such as forests, woodlands, parks, and suburban areas. They typically build nests in trees called dreys or use cavities in trees as shelter. Some squirrels may also take up residence in attics or buildings in urban areas.

The squirrel belongs to the ratufa genus and the Animalia kingdom. The squirrel also belongs to the scuridae family and the rodentia order.

I have one living on my porch right now that cant walk very well or climb anything. It doesn't hiss when i touch it, and it eats bees. I did dangle a dead bee in front of it and it jumped at my hand, but it is really slow and uncoordinated, and had a hard landing.

Male black squirrel monkeys typically weigh between 1.4-2.2 lbs (0.6-1 kg) and have a body length of 12-15 inches (30-38 cm), while females are slightly smaller, weighing between 1.1-1.8 lbs (0.5-0.8 kg) and measuring 10-14 inches (25-35 cm) in length.

If a female chipmunk had one baby it would be called a "Pup". If it had 2-7 less or more, they would officaly be called "Puppies".

While it is technically possible to domesticate squirrels, they are not typically chosen as pets due to their high energy levels, need for a specialized diet, and tendency to be destructive in indoor environments. Additionally, many states have regulations prohibiting or restricting the ownership of squirrels as pets.

anywhere from 25 to 37 cm long and 110 to 230 grams (weight) this is where i got my info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_flying_squirrel

The Grey Squirrel is the most common species found in the United States. It has been in the country for around 50 million years and scientists theorize it entered North America through Canada.

Squirrel droppings are typically smaller and thinner than mouse or rat droppings. Squirrel droppings are often rounded at the ends and can be mistaken for rat droppings at first glance, but they are usually narrower and longer. Additionally, squirrel droppings may have a slight twist or curve to them, while mouse droppings are more cylindrical.
