What is the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel?

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M Best Comment
Both Rodents.
Both family [i]Sciuridae[/i].

Chipmunks are confined to North America and Asia.
Squirrels are everywhere except the polar regions.

Chipmunks like forresty areas.
Squirrels prefer grassy areas.

Both animals hibernate. Although a Squirrel is more likely to eat plenty then sleep through the winter living off it's fat stores whereas a Chipmunk will wake and eat before going back to sleep.

Squirrels like their homes up in the trees.
Chipmunks prefer their homes at the base of trees.
