Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) ultra close on a stone wall in Connecticut, spring. Only chipmunk in eastern North America, and in its genus, Tamias. Of the 24 other chipmunk species, 23 occur in western or central North America and one occurs in Siberia. Outside its two breeding seasons, the eastern chipmunk is solitary. Yet it is extremely curious and can seem to enjoy human company, becoming quite tame around houses. It hibernates underground in winter and, in this case, did not emerge until May. The eastern is the largest of the world's chipmunks. It thrives in rocky, brushy woods.
