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!
