What is a male, female, and young eastern chipmunk called?

I'm doing a project and I'm checking on the computer but it doesn't say.. Does it not have a name?What is a male, female, and young eastern chipmunk called?
As far as I know, that's what they are called: Eastern Chipmunk. (Tamias Striatus).





It is a member of the chipmunk genus called Tamias. They're found throughout eastern North America, and have a life expectancy (in the wild) of about 1 year. I would believe you would refer to the male as a male Eastern Chipmunk, and the female in the same way. The young could be called a Juvenile, or even just 'young' Eastern Chipmunk.





Wikipedia has some info about them that you may find helpful for your project. I'll see what other links I can find. Good luck! Hope this helped you out a little.
