Chipmunk Same As Squirrel. How do you differentiate a chipmunk from a squirrel? They promote forest growth as they move and hide the seeds around.
The lines are actually alternating stripes, with seven dark brown stripes and six tan stripes.
Chipmunks are a group or a branch of the rodent's family and are very much confused with the squirrels and in particular the red squirrels. They look similar to chipmunks, but do not have stripes on the head. Just like the chipmunk, squirrel also eat the same thing. They promote forest growth as they move and hide the seeds around.
