Least Chipmunk (12188508453)

Description:

Description: Not one to be outdone by the dynamic trio of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, the least chipmunk (Eutamias Minimus) is the smallest of all chipmunks in North America. Least chipmunks range over most of western North America occupying the widest geographic and altitudinal range of any chipmunk. The USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center studies the least chipmunk in addition to other animals and plants to better understand our Nation's biological resources.
