Eastern Chipmunk

Tamias striatus

Description:

Chippy likes to see how many peanuts she can fit in her cheeks at one time.

Notes:

hangs out in the garden with me, very easy to tame, and i try not to feed em to much. also i believe this is the mother chipmunk of my area and has babies every year, can't help but to love a friendly neighbour like this.

Chipmunks are very territorial, only socializing with other chipmunks during the mating season, the female is left to birth and raise the babies on her own.
