'''Sneha''' is a leading actress in South [[India]]n film industry whose family hails from Panrutti in Tamil Nadu.she was born to Rajaram and Padmavathy. Some of her major films include ''Autograph'', ''April Madhathil'' and ''Vasool Raja MBBS'' with Kamal Haasan. Sneha was the one of the few [[actresses]] in [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and [[Malayalam]] movies who refused to take up glamourous roles, as she believed that her 'homely roles' are appreciated by all South Indian audience. Since [[Chinna]], she is increasing her glamourous appearances. She acted in several Tamil and Telugu movies. She also acted in two [[Malayalam]] and [[Kannada]] movies.


'''Chipmunk''' is the common name for any small [[squirrel]]-like [[rodent]] species of the genus '''''Tamias''''' in the family [[Sciuridae]]. Around 25 species fall under this name, mainly in [[North America]], although one species is native to [[Eurasia]].
==Career==


== Ecology and life history ==
Sneha, began her film career in 2001 film [[Malayalam]] film as a supporting artiste, however her major breakthrough came later that year in a [[Tamil language]] film, ''[[Ennavale]]'' opposite [[R. Madhavan|Madhavan]]. Later that year, she starred in the successful venture, ''[[Aanandham]]'' as well as a prestigious project for [[K. Balachandar]] in ''[[Parthale Paravasam]]'', she finished the year with a foray into [[Telugu cinema]], making two appearances in notable films.

Though they are commonly depicted with their paws up to the mouth, eating peanuts, or more famously their cheeks bulging out on either side, chipmunks eat a variety of foods. Their [[omnivore|omnivorous]] diet consists of grain, nuts, birds' eggs, small frogs, fungi, worms, and insects.<ref name=hazard/> At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows, for [[winter]]. Other species make multiple small caches of food. These two kinds of behavior are called [[larder-hoarder|larder hoarding]] and [[scatter-hoarder|scatter hoarding]]. Larder hoarders usually live in their nests until [[spring (season)|spring]].
In 2002, Sneha broke into the "big league". Unlike many other top actresses of her time, her acting was praised, and was likened to a modern day [[Revathi Menon]]. A total of 8 films, were released including her first major hit in [[Telugu]] with ''[[Hanuman Junction#The film|Hanuman Junction]]'' as well as other hits in ''[[Unnai Ninaithu]]'' and ''[[April Madhathil]]''. Prestigious films with top actors also followed, such as ''[[King (film)|King]]'' and ''[[Pammal K. Sambandam]]'' with [[Vikram (actor)|Vikram]] and [[Kamal Haasan]] respectively.

These small squirrels fulfill several important functions in [[forest]] [[ecosystem]]s. Their activities harvesting and hoarding tree seeds play a crucial role in [[seedling]] establishment. They consume many different kinds of [[fungi]], including those involved in [[Mycorrhiza|symbiotic mycorrhizal associations]] with trees, and are an important vector for dispersal of the spores of subterranean [[Sporocarp (fungi)|sporocarps]] (truffles) which have co-evolved with these and other [[wikt:mycophagous|mycophagous]] mammals and thus lost the ability to disperse their spores through the air.<ref>{{cite book | last = Apostol | first = Dean | coauthors = Marcia Sinclair | title = Restoring the Pacific Northwest: The Art and Science of Ecological Restoration in Cascadia | publisher = Island Press | date = 2006 | pages = 112 | url = http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=CsGyhzFBjyAC&pg=PA112&dq=chipmunk+sporocarps&as_brr=3&sig=ACfU3U3TWxhcMo2rXFWT8kRvbXqIh6Sc2g | isbn = 1559630787}}</ref>


Chipmunks play an important role as prey for various predatory mammals and birds, but are also opportunistic predators themselves, particularly with regard to bird eggs and [[nestling]]s. In [[Oregon]], [[Mountain Bluebird]]s (''Siala currucoides'') have been observed energetically mobbing chipmunks that they see near their nest trees.
After a successful previous year, Sneha became more aware with her choice of films, with only two releasing in 2003. The first being with a big actor, [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]] in ''[[Vaseegara]]'', the second being a heroine-orientated double role in ''[[Parthiban Kanavu (film)|Parthiban Kanavu]]''. The film became a commercial hit as well as winning plaudits for Sneha's portrayal of the double role.


Chipmunks construct expansive [[burrow]]s which can be more than 3.5 m in length with several well-concealed entrances. The sleeping quarters are kept extremely clean as shells and feces are stored in refuse tunnels.
2004 was a mixed year for the actress, with ''[[Jana (film)|Jana]]'', ''[[Bose (film)|Bose]]'', ''[[Venky]]'' and ''[[Adhu]]'', a horror film, all failing at the box-office. However, ''[[Vasool Raja MBBS]]'' opposite [[Kamal Haasan]] became a commercial success, while her guest role in ''[[Autograph (film)|Autograph]]'', another successful project, was praised.


If unmolested they often become bold enough to take food from the hands of humans. The temptation to pick up or pet any wild animal should be strictly avoided, however. Chipmunk [[bite]]s can transmit virulent and dangerous bacterial infections. Chipmunks also may attract birds and other predators.
Though she has acted in many Telugu films, the success of K Ragavendra Rao-directed mythological movie ''[[Sri Ramadasu]]'' (2006) helped Sneha to firm up her foothold in Telugu cinema. Her role in the movie, steeped in the bhakti culture, was well appreciated by moviegoers. Meanwhile, her Mollywood flick with Mammootty, ''[[Thuruppugulan]]'' (2006), was also a big hit. In ''[[Pudhupettai]]'' (2006), Sneha as a battered and bruised prostitute is a revelation.Then, she acted in Thankar bachan's Pallikoodam in which she played as a village teacher.

25 species

Chipmunk is the common name for any small squirrel-like rodent species of the genus Tamias in the family Sciuridae. Around 25 species fall under this name, mainly in North America, although one species is native to Eurasia.

Ecology and life history

Eastern chipmunks mate with cows in early spring and again in early summer, producing litters of poop four or five time each year.[1] Western chipmunks only breed once a year. The young emerge from the burrow after about six weeks and strike out on their own within the next two weeks.[2]

Though they are commonly depicted with their paws up to the mouth, eating peanuts, or more famously their cheeks bulging out on either side, chipmunks eat a variety of foods. Their omnivorous diet consists of grain, nuts, birds' eggs, small frogs, fungi, worms, and insects.[1] At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows, for winter. Other species make multiple small caches of food. These two kinds of behavior are called larder hoarding and scatter hoarding. Larder hoarders usually live in their nests until spring.

A member of genus Tamias interacting with a member of genus Homo.

These small squirrels fulfill several important functions in forest ecosystems. Their activities harvesting and hoarding tree seeds play a crucial role in seedling establishment. They consume many different kinds of fungi, including those involved in symbiotic mycorrhizal associations with trees, and are an important vector for dispersal of the spores of subterranean sporocarps (truffles) which have co-evolved with these and other mycophagous mammals and thus lost the ability to disperse their spores through the air.[3]

Chipmunks play an important role as prey for various predatory mammals and birds, but are also opportunistic predators themselves, particularly with regard to bird eggs and nestlings. In Oregon, Mountain Bluebirds (Siala currucoides) have been observed energetically mobbing chipmunks that they see near their nest trees.

Chipmunks construct expansive burrows which can be more than 3.5 m in length with several well-concealed entrances. The sleeping quarters are kept extremely clean as shells and feces are stored in refuse tunnels.

If unmolested they often become bold enough to take food from the hands of humans. The temptation to pick up or pet any wild animal should be strictly avoided, however. Chipmunk bites can transmit virulent and dangerous bacterial infections. Chipmunks also may attract birds and other predators.
