 The circle of life: Chipmunk boom means devastating crashIn the Northeastern U.S., there has been an uncanny explosion of the local chipmunk population. A bountiful acorn harvest is mostly to blame, and because food has been so plentiful, more chipmunks are prancing about this summer than ever. And residents aren’t taking it too kindly, either. The small animals are notorious burrowers, and many a garden or planter has been destroyed by these wily critters trying to stow their nuts. But scientists are telling people not to be alarmed: These population booms are part of a much larger cycle. Just as there is a plentiful supply of food for the chipmunks, these animals make a plentiful supply of food for owls and hawks. Nature can be so cruel.
