About
The eastern chipmunk is a small, striped woodland rodent that grows to less than nine inches in total length.
It is the largest chipmunk species in North America, noticeably heavier and longer than its western relatives. Males and females are practically identical in size and weight throughout their range. Even with their tiny frames, their internal cheek pouches can expand to hold a remarkable volume of seeds and nuts relative to their body size.
From Wikipedia
