摘要
Sciurids are often seen eating carrion on roads but are rarely seen attacking live prey. We report a rare incident of an Eastern Chipmunk, Tamias striatus, attacking (but not eating) a Maritime Garter Snake, Thamnophis sirtalis pallidulus, at Cooks Lake, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, Canada, on 29 September 2009 at 1315 h.
