chipmunks are smaller and brighter than squirrels and also squirrels put their nuts in the ground then other animals can find them and eat them, but chipmunks put their nuts up high in the tree were birds unable to look upon it

They are two separate species. Chipmunks are much smaller and have shorter fur and tails. See the link below for more info and pictures.

Chipmunks and ground squirrels are very closely related. Both chipmunks and ground squirrels differ from and are smaller than tree squirrels. The major external feature that distinguishes a chipmunk from a squirrel are the stripes on the face across the eyes. Squirrels may have stripes on their back but lack stripes on the face. The bone structure (bacula) of squirrels are different from chipmunks.
