SAFARI LTD Eastern Chipmunk Figure

Found in the eastern United States, the eastern chipmunk is the only living member of the Tamias genus. It can commonly be found in wooded and urban areas throughout its endemic range, specifically in areas with brush, shrubs, or rocky outcrops. Classified as an animal of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, chipmunks are widely distributed throughout their range. Although there is only one species of eastern chipmunk, the species itself is made up of eleven different subspecies. Similar to other rodents, chipmunks forage throughout the day and then transport any food they’ve found back to their burrows in unique cheek pouches. Features: - As cute as they look, chipmunks do not make good pets and are prone to biting as a defense mechanism. - Observe and snuggle up to our adorable hand painted and life-like figurine instead!
