Eutamias is a genus of chipmunks within the tribe Marmotini of the squirrel family. It includes a single living species, the Siberian chipmunk ( Eutamias sibiricus ). The genus is often treated as a subgenus of Tamias , which is now restricted to the eastern chipmunk of North America. [ 1 ]

The article did say chipmunks eat plants from vegetable gardens, but these are not items of a wild diet, and grass and shoots are more typical items of diet as can be seen above (and vegetables is a vague word, especially in such a place as an example of a 'form of plant matter'); the Massachusetts Audubon article is unclear and is not needed ...
