Many biologists put the speciation number in North America at about 25. The Siberian chipmunk is considered distinctly different. Most studies are placed within an evolutionary context, but it is just as easy to place the observations within the variation of a created kind. The chipmunk is found on two separate continents. This also can be put within the context of distribution of animals post Noah Flood and pre-continental breakup (or even during a partial breakup).

The Acceptance of the Evolutionary Philosophy Results in the Acceptance of an Unlikely Mechanism of Development
Sadly, the authors of the above article, which was exquisite in its design, put their conclusions into an evolutionary philosophic framework. By doing this they missed the beauty of common design in different life forms, and accepted an unlikely mechanism for development. Of course, if they had accepted the obvious design this would have argued for a Designer/Creator.
