Even though the Siberian chipmunk normally grows to 50–150 g (1.8–5.3 oz). [3] [5] The Siberian chipmunk does not exhibit sexual dimorphism, and size and body proportions are the only way to distinguish younger chipmunks from older ones. [4] Its small size may contribute to its relatively short life from two to five years in the wild.
Caged Tamias chipmunk, Tokyo area. The genus Tamias was formerly divided into three subgenera that, in sum, included all chipmunk species: Tamias, the eastern chipmunk and other fossil species; Eutamias, of which the Siberian chipmunk (E. sibiricus) is the only living member; and Neotamias, which includes the 23 remaining, mostly western ...
Chipmunks are classified as four genera: Tamias, of which the eastern chipmunk (T. striatus) is the only living member; Eutamias, of which the Siberian chipmunk (E. sibiricus) is the only living member; Nototamias, which consists of three extinct species, and Neotamias, which includes the 23 remaining, mostly western North American, species.
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 ...

The Manchurian wild boar is the largest of the wild boar species. The Formosan wild boar is a subspecies endemic to Taiwan.
Other animal species in this region are Kamchatkan brown bears, sea otters, and sea eagles (predators of salmon with 2.5 metres (8 ft 2 in) wingspan). Avifauna species number 200, including auks, tufted puffins and swans. [8] The Siberian tiger is the most prominent species in Primorsky Krai; as of 2015 there were 480 to 540 remaining.
