*** About Eastern Chipmunk: The Eastern Chipmunk, scientifically known as Tamias striatus, is a small, stripe-adorned mammal predominantly found in wooded areas and gardens throughout Eastern North America. Characterized by its ruddy brown coat and distinguishing black and white stripes that run down its back, this nimble creature is both diurnal and highly energetic. Primarily feeding on seeds, nuts, fruits, and buds, chipmunks play a crucial role in seed dispersal, aiding in the propagation of various plant species. With a cheek pouch that allows them to transport food, they typically hoard supplies in burrows for the winter, showcasing a fascinating aspect of their survival strategy during the colder seasons.
