These small, striped rodents are found throughout the eastern parts of North America. Their fur is reddish-brown with five black stripes running down their back, making them easily recognizable. Eastern Chipmunks are about the size of a squirrel, but with a shorter tail. Their scientific name is Tamias striatus, which comes from the Greek word 'tamias', meaning treasurer or housekeeper.  \nEastern Chipmunks have a varied diet that changes with the seasons. During spring and summer, they munch on berries, seeds, nuts, and insects. In the fall, they store food in their underground burrows to prepare for winter. Chipmunks have cheek pouches that they use to carry food to their burrows. Some of their favorite foods include acorns, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms.  \nThese little creatures are known for their interesting life cycle. Eastern Chipmunks breed twice a year, once in the spring and once in the summer. After a 30-day gestation period, the female gives birth to a litter of 2-7 babies called 'pups'. The pups are born hairless and blind, but they grow quickly and are on their own after just two months. Eastern Chipmunks live for about 2-3 years in the wild.  \nEastern Chipmunks interact with humans and other animals in various ways. They are often seen in backyards, parks, and gardens, where they might dig small holes to store their food. Chipmunks are a source of food for predators like hawks, foxes, and snakes. However, they have some clever defenses, such as their ability to climb trees and hide in their burrows. They also use their stripes as camouflage to blend in with their surroundings.  \nFinally, let's learn some fun facts about Eastern Chipmunks. They can stuff their cheek pouches with up to three times their head size in food! Eastern Chipmunks are solitary animals, only coming together during mating season. They communicate with each other using various chirps and calls. Eastern Chipmunks are just one of 25 different species of chipmunks found in North America.  \nNow that you know more about the Eastern Chipmunk, you can appreciate these fascinating little creatures and their unique characteristics.  \nEastern Chipmunk  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Where can Eastern Chipmunks be found?\u003Cbr>A.
