AI interpretation: eastern chipmunk head study.
Overview
Eastern chipmunks have greyish to reddish-brown fur, pale underparts and alternating facial stripes. Five dark stripes mark the back and sides, ending before the rump patch. Large cheek pouches carry food.
The 2013 account describes eastern North American forests with logs, rocks and other cover. These mainly ground-foraging rodents store seeds, nuts and fruit, while also eating animal foods and fungi. Burrows contain separate nesting and storage chambers.
