Some interesting facts from wikipedia about Tamias Striatus, or the Eastern Chipmunk:
  • It is the sole living member of the chipmunk genus and subgenus Tamias.
  • Its name comes from the Odawa (Ottawa) word ajidamoonh or the Ojibwe word ajidamoo, which translates literally as "one who descends trees headlong."
  • It has four toes each on the front legs but five on the hind legs.
  • It can climb trees well but constructs underground nests with extensive tunnel systems, often with several entrances.
  • It lives a solitary life, except during mating season.
  • Females usually produce one or two litters of three to five young.
  • They have two breeding seasons, one from February to April, and the other from June to August.
  • During the winter, the chipmunk may enter long periods of torpor, but does not truly hibernate.
