They're the smallest of ground type squirrel. Their habitat is rocky or brushy areas below 8,000 feet and high hillside holes stumps and trees. It's enemy is the weasel. They carry their food in pouches. If you see a mouse with white stripes, tan fur and sharp claws it's probably a chipmunk.
Chipmunks run very fast.
Getting away from some animals is easy. For example why it's easy to get away from a vole is because chimunks can outrun a vole just by jogging. Chipmunks run like other four-legged animals till the enemy is a foot away then it starts doing far jumps close to the ground. The chipmunks predators are weasels, birds, bears, and hawks. Chipmunks eat berries, baby snakes, nuts, and grasshoppers.
