Chipmunk is the common name for any small squirrel-like rodent species of the genera Tamias (eastern North America), Neotamias (western North America) and Eutamias (Eurasia) in the family Sciuridae. The Siberian Chipmunk is a member of the chipmunk genus, Tamias. Ranging across northern Asia from central Russia to China, Korea and northern Japan (Hokkaidō), it is the only member of its genus found outside North America. It lives in woodland habitats with a bushy understory. It is 18-25 cm long, of which a third is the tail. The weight of adults depends on the time of year, and is normally 50-150 grams. Therefore, the Siberian Chipmunk is relatively small compared to other Sciuridae, such as the Red Squirrel. Its natural foes include birds of prey, mustelids, and cats. In rare cases Siberian Chipmunks may spread diseases such as rabies by biting other animals or humans. It feeds on shrubs, mushrooms, berries, birds, and other small animals. It has colonised parts of eastern and central Europe due to escapes from captivity.
