Scientific Name: Tamias striatus
Characteristics: As cute as they look, chipmunks do not make good pets and are prone to biting as a defense mechanism. Observe and snuggle up to our adorable hand painted and lifelike figurine instead!
Size and Color: Standing 8.9 cm tall and 17.8 cm long, this model is as tall as a deck of cards and a bit longer than a dollar bill. Chipmunks can easily be identified by their small size, as well as their reddish-brown fur, white bellies, and black and white stripes along their backs and eyes.
