Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) was the next most active mammalian scavenger, with 14.6% of total observations.
For example increases in abundance of
eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) in clearcuts may occur because chipmunks use edge habitat (Johnson et al., 1979; King et al., 1998; Kellner et al., 2013) with plenty of coarse woody debris to shield them from predators (Zollner and Crane, 2003).
Squirrel species are the predominant mammals seen in the park, including the familiar
eastern chipmunk, gray squirrel (also in black and blonde phases), red squirrel, and the large fox squirrel (at the eastern edge of its range).
The species examined were golden mouse (Ochrotomys nuttalli) and
eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), which both are native to the United States (although we only examined specimens from Georgia; see Section 2).

"Chippy Chipmunk Parties in the Garden" is a fabulous photo-essay about a little
Eastern Chipmunk named Chippy who lives in the author's garden.
During the emergence, cicadas constituted over 51% (by volume) of the diet of short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda) and raccoons (Procyon lotor), while the opossum (Didelphis virginiana), white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) and
eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) consumed periodical cicadas in lesser amounts.
However, it is not uncommon to capture a larger mammal, such as an
eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus; ca.
