Que Es Squirrel And Chipmunk. Tree squirrels and chipmunks are some of the most familiar members of the rodent order. Ground squirrels have stripes only on the back, while tree squirrels have brown, gray or red fur, without any kind of stripes.
Their dietary requirements and preferred habitat are different enough that they're not competitors for anything.
Tree squirrels and chipmunks are some of the most familiar members of the rodent order. Over 30 species of tree squirrel and chipmunk are widely distributed across north america. Note the stripes on the head, back and ground squirrels are small striped mammals native to wooded and open rocky areas. I usually don't hesitate to 'plink' at squirrels and/or chipmunks that go after my wife's birdfeeders, irritate my dog, etc.
