Eastern Chipmunk is the largest chipmunk in North America. It ranges from southern Manitoba and central Quebec in Canada, south to Oklahoma and Louisiana in the United States; introduced in Newfoundland. Map. This species inhabits deciduous forests, woodlands, hedgerows, suburbs, and urban parks. Although Eastern Chipmunk can climb trees, it excavates burrows with a nest chamber and several entrances. T. striatus feeds on bulbs, nuts, seeds, fruits, mushrooms, insects, and bird eggs. In winter, it may enter long periods of torpor, but does not truly hibernate.
