Red-Tailed Chipmunk
Status
In both 1991 and 1996, Red-tailed Chipmunks were included on the
Blue List of species that may be at risk in the province. This classification was given because populations are assumed to be low, highly restricted in distribution, and vulnerable to
habitat loss. Red-tailed Chipmunks are classified as
non-game animals under the Alberta Wildlife Act, which means it is illegal to capture or kill
them without appropriate permits.
