Description: Chipmunk, probably Tamias umbrinus (Uinta chipmunk), inside the Zion Nation Park, southwest Utah. Three species of chipmunks occur there (Kays and Wilson, 2000, Mammals of North America): Tamias minimus (least chipmunk), Tamias umbrinus (Uinta chipmunk), and Tamias dorsalis (cliff chipmunk). This is not a cliff chipmunk, as that species has indistinct lateral stripes, and probably is not a least chipmunk, which has duller colors, including grayish instead of brown shoulders.
