Chipmunk
Classification | Habitat | Diet |
Rodentia > Sciuridae | Forests | Omnivorous, including nuts, fruits, insects, frogs, bird eggs, etc. |
Chipmunks make their homes by burrowing
into the ground and keeping a food cache nearby.
To transport their food, they use their elastic cheek pouches.
The pouch can easily hold seven peanuts!
They have very fragile tails and do not like to be picked up by the tail.
If you come across a chipmunk, do not touch it.
Instead, always look at it with your eyes!
