I got an iNat newsletter that featured this image today, and I did not know chipmunks were carnivorous!
(Marked as graphic, as it's a chipmunk with a vole or lemming being noshed on, some vole-flesh visible)
Eastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus)
Eastern Chipmunk from Rock Valley, MI, USA on August 29, 2024 at 06:19 PM by Steve Waller. Eating a Woodland Vole or maybe it is a Southern Bog Lemming! Lately I'm thinking it is a lemming...

Kontopoulos et al. screened 190 placental mammal genomes to examine associations between loss, positive selection, and evolutionary rate shifts in protein-coding genes and evolutionary shifts in torpor use

GBE | Lack of Evidence for Gene-Level Convergence Linked to Evolutionary Shifts in Torpor Among Placental Mammals Photo: An eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) during torpor. Photo credit: Danielle L. Levesque (coauthor of this study). Inset: Phylogeny of 190 placental mammals analyzed in this study. Circles represent torpor use for both extant species and ancestral nodes with high-confidence reconstructions. Tree branches are annotated with patterns of positive selection and losses in the GPR35 protein-coding gene. This gene is among those most strongly associated with torpor evolution, yet explains less than 10% of variance in torpor use across species.

Least Chipmunk, to me, you are enough 🙂
A labeled picture of a Least Chipmunk, scientific name "Tamias minimus." He/she is a little guy on all fours, brown fur with a white underbelly and black and white stripes on the back. Thin tail that is cutoff by the edge of the picture. Slightly pointy ears and big puffy cheeks.

A chipmunk (Tamias sp.) in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Photo taken in Cowles, New Mexico on August 7, 2026.

#nature #naturephotography #mammal
A chipmunk on a rock, with its head to the left and its tail to the right. It's holding its tail at right angles to the body, as if adding an exclamation mark to the scene. The body is mostly a mix of red-browns and gray-browns, with off-white fur beneath, but then there's the signature stripes. In this image the side of the face features two white horizontal stripes flanked by dark brown to black stripes. We can also see one of the white stripes along the back, again flanked by darker stripes. The eye is large and black. Behind the gray rock, out-of-focus grass provides a splash of green.

Illustration from a 1912 publication showing a striped chipmunk (Tamias striatus) perched on a tree trunk. The chipmunk is depicted in profile, highlighting its distinctive dark and light stripes along its back and face. The background features detailed oak leaves and textured bark, emphasizing the chipmunk's natural woodland habitat in Illinois and Wisconsin. The drawing captures fine details of the fur and whiskers, illustrating the species' characteristic alert posture.

Voici un Tamias, notre voisin au camping.

Trop souvent confondus avec les écureils (par exemple, Tic et Tac de Disney sont des tamias), ils vivent dans les fôrets d'Amérique du Nord et sont les amis des campeur-euses :)
Un tamias.

#RodentOfTheDay Gray Footed Chipmunk (Tamias canipes)

"These are forest-dwelling chipmunks that occur in Texas only in the higher elevations (1,800–2,500 m [5,905–8,202 ft.]) of the Sierra Diablo and Guadalupe Mountains in the Trans-Pecos region."

Ne serait-ce pas un Écureuil roux? Il me semble que les petits suisses, les tamias, sont rayés.🤔

CHIPMUNK.BMF
A color illustration of an Eastern Chipmunk. Originally named Sciurus striatus by Linnaeus, the chipmunk’s scientific name was later changed to Tamias striatus by Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger, the same zoologist who introduced the taxonomic order of Proboscidea for elephants and mastodons. To think, Xoel muses, there’s a connection, however tenuous, between chipmunks and mastodons.

A chipmunk (Tamias sp.) munching on a walnut half at the Capulin Spring Picnic Site. Photo taken in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico on June 22, 2026.

#nature #naturephotography #mammals
A close-up of a chipmunk munching on a walnut half, while holding it with both hands. The chipmunk is more or less in profile, with its nose to the right. The face is dominated by the large black eye. The face has three horizontal brown stripes separated by white stripes. The rest of the visible body is an indistinct mix of brown and gray fur. The ears are short, rounded, and fuzzy. The fingers on the forepaws are thin and fuzzy, and end in small but sharp claws. The image background is provided by the gray surface of a cement pad for a picnic table.
