Since chipmunks usually have characteristic stripes, their stripes might be construed as being standard features displayed by normal chipmunks under normal circumstances. So, in a case where pink ear tags are used to identify chipmunks, the marks may be entirely artificial. Rodents, for example, can be recognized as being chipmunks in any number of ways. Specifically, ' they ' in the chipmunk example refers not to the chipmunk identified in the previous sentence, but rather to chipmunks as an abstract kind.

If the chipmunks themselves are isolated out as perceptual objects from the surrounding backdrop of straw, their pink tags might be used to recognize those rodents perceptually as being chipmunks.
