Our Shared Environment Chipmunks: Pleasant neighbors or pests?
Joe Naper and Bailey Hobson settled here in the early 1830s. Tamius
striatus, if the fossil record is to be believed, was here in the
Miocene epoch, between 5 and 23 million years earlier. You'd
think that would give old Tamius some privileges, something like
squatter's rights. But no, that is not the case. It is most definitely
not the case. Did I mention that Tamius striatus is better known as the eastern chipmunk?
