Answer 2

A member of the tribe Marmotini in the rodent family Sciuridae. There are 18 species.

The eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) is found in wooded areas of eastern Canada and the United States. The western species, although quite similar to the eastern form, are included in the separate genus Eutamias.

These rodents are intermediate between the squirrels and marmots, having lost the typical bushy tail, tufted ears, and silky fur of the squirrel.

They are diurnal animals, active in collecting food such as nuts, grains, and seeds.

They fill their large cheek pouches with gathered food to carry it to storage places for the winter.

The animals construct extensive burrows of several chambers at the bottom of a downward sloping entry tunnel, which is about 3 ft (1 m) long. The chambers, used for hoarding food and for nesting, are below the frost line.

While chipmunks are not true hibernators, they tend to remain in their underground chambers during the winter months. In the early spring they emerge from the burrows and mating occurs. After a gestation period of 5 weeks six or more young are born, blind and helpless.
