Ardilla listada de Uinta

Tamias umbrinus

The Uinta chipmunk or hidden forest chipmunk (Neotamias umbrinus) is a species of chipmunk in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to the United States. Formerly known as Tamias umbrinus, phylogenetic studies have shown it to be sufficiently distinct from the eastern chipmunk as to be placed in a separate genus, Neotamias.

Overview

The Uinta chipmunk or hidden forest chipmunk (Neotamias umbrinus) is a species of chipmunk in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to the United States. Formerly known as Tamias umbrinus, phylogenetic studies have shown it to be sufficiently distinct from the eastern chipmunk as to be placed in a separate genus, Neotamias. The same studies have also suggested that Palmer's chipmunk may actually be a subspecies of Uinta chipmunk, although the two are still generally regarded as separate species.

Video

   Video (with original soundtrack) :Chipmunk in the Capitol Reef National Park, USA. There are four chipmunks in or near where this video was taken: Tamias minimus (least chipmunk), Tamias umbrinus (Uinta chipmunk), Tamias dorsalis (cliff chipmunk), Tamias rufus (Hopi chipmunk). This is not a cliff chipmunk, which is very dull. The least chipmunk has a more distinctive brown stripe below the white lateral stripe. The Hopi chipmunk has paler stripes. Thus, this is probably a Uinta chipmunk.Credit: R-E-AL (talk | contribs | Gallery)  (German Wikipedia) · CC BY-SA 3.0Source ↗
