Tamias striatus
According to wikipedia.org, "Chipmunks are small striped squirrels native to North America and Asia. They are usually classed either as a single genus with three subgenera, or as three genera."
In a burrow in my grandfather's backyard.
This particular chipmunk has lived for many years on my grandfather's property, and is fairly tame as it usually can be seen darting towards the door for its daily hand-feeding of peanuts.
