The Chipmunk

Chipmunks are small, striped rodents that are a part of the squirrel family. They are generally small, only 3-10 inches long and are recognised for their fluffy tail which tends to stand up straight. They have striking stripes down their backs; their fur is usually brownish, but can vary from almost black to light tan. They have chubby cheeks, large, glossy eyes, and bushy tails. Pretty cute, aren't they? Mostly, they live on the ground and are excellent burrowers, but they can also climb trees to escape predators or to find food.

Fun Fact: - A chipmunk's cheek pouches can expand to three times the size of its head - makes you wonder why they don't get a cheeks-ache when they're full!
