Chipmunk

This album keeps a broad chipmunk label while the exact identification remains open. Chipmunks are small members of the squirrel family that gather seeds, nuts, and other foods, often carrying them in expandable cheek pouches. Stripes on the face and body are useful identification clues, especially when comparing chipmunks with similar ground squirrels. Habitat, locality, and additional views can help distinguish species; the photograph is not assigned a more specific name without that supporting information.
