The Cliff Chipmunk is a small, bushy-tailed animal that lives among the lower and upper cliff dwellings, particularly in the Western United States. Cliff Chipmunks are very agile, and can often be seen scaling steep cliff walls. They live in deep crevices above the cliff dwellings. Cliff Chimpmunks do not amass body fat as the more common ground squirrel does. They create a "stash" of food which they frequent during the cold winter months.
