Chipmunk A Squirrel Difference. If you've ever wondered about any of these things. Note the stripes on the head, back and tail.
Squirrels and chipmunks both belong to the sciuridae family and are small rodents that eat nuts, fruits, seeds.
They do not have stripes on the head or body. Another difference (along with size, as micafe said) is that chipmunks do not have. Chipmunks are small striped squirrels native to north america and asia. Chipmunks are smaller and brighter than squirrels and also squirrels put their nuts in the ground then other animals can find them and eat them, but chipmunks put their nuts up high in the tree were birds unable to look upon it they are two separate species.
