Photos / SoundsWhatEastern Chipmunk (Tamias striatus)ObserverthcfDescriptionOur dog caught and killed this chipmunk on April 12, 2020. There are no noticeable testicles. As it is currently Spring (one of the eastern chipmunk's two mating seasons of the year) if this had been a male, I likely would have been able to see distended testicles. Also, males range out looking for mates, while females do not. This specimen was always in our front yard. |

Comments
Thank you for the sugggestion, yes it is better to merge and I have updated the project. Thank you for your help!
@shaunmichael: The "Monarch predators" project above is still showing as using this field, you will have to edit the project and remove it and add the other field instead. Then I can merge the fields.
@shaunmichael: This field is now being used for a lot of other applications than Monarchs. Can we just merge it with the established field "Interaction: Preyed upon by" as they both serve the same function?
