Any translation for chipmunk?

I've seen "un tamia" but my Quebec family isn't familiar with the term. They know "suisse", but don't know if it's "un" or "une"

Nicole ,

see Larousse links below, as well as wordreference link.

‘ un tamia ‘ is metropolitan French. However, ‘ un suisse ‘ is indeed Canadian French.

The final Académie dictionary link is interesting as there is a bit more detail on different names used.
