Stone also tells of seeing them catch and eat large grasshoppers.Then, too, they dig up roots, the tuberous ones of the dwarf ginseng and thesquirrel corn being favorites. The chipmunks at Old Forge were observed eatingthe seeds of the maple, from whose papery envelops they neatly extracted them.Both there and at North Creek their holes could be recognized by the heaps ofseeds they had stripped from the spruce cones and the naked stalks. Thechipmunk in his search for diversity of food occasionally eats birds eggs, but isnot nearly so great an offender in this respect as the red squirrel. When the cold days of the late fall come the chipmunk repairs to his burrow;but as several weeks are supposed to elapse before he enters his winter sleep, itis probable that he spends his time laying on a sufficient supply of fat to lasthim till the spring. Then in the warm, sunny days of April and May he reappearsagain, but should a cold wave come on he will retire to his burrow for somemore sleep.Text Appearing After Image:DC _1 CO

a prairie dog feeding on a plant next to a burrow Prairie dogs mainly feed on grass but will eat some shrubs, roots, and even prickly pear. Prairie dogs keep grass short in their towns so they can watch for predators and communicate more easily. Grass in a prairie dog town is more tender and nutritious because it's constantly growing, so it's better food for bison and pronghorns.

Summary[edit] 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.
