*** About Eastern Chipmunk: The eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) is a small, striped rodent commonly found across the eastern United States and Canada. Known for their cheek pouches, which they use to carry food, chipmunks primarily feed on nuts, seeds, and berries. They are active creatures, particularly during the cooler parts of the day, and are crucial in seed dispersion, aiding in the spread of woodland flora. Nesting typically occurs in burrow systems, where they store food and seek refuge from predators. Chipmunks' hibernation behaviors vary, often involving periods of torpor interrupted by brief active phases throughout the winter.
