Chipmunk

Have you ever seen a chipmunk with extremely fat cheeks? The fat cheeks have pouches in them. They are like pockets to place food in. The fat cheeks make it easy to carry food back to its home. When their cheeks get filled, they start to puff outwards.

All day the chipmunks run around and look for food in the woods. They look for items such as acorns and other nuts. Seeds and berries are also things they like to eat. They nibble and munch all day long.

Chipmunks have very long toes with sharp nails. Their tails are long, black, and furry. Their ears are small, and they have black stripes running down their backs. Their fur is tan and their belly is white.

Chipmunks are a lot of fun to watch when they play. If they are stuffing their cheeks, it is the most fun of all.

Night animals have to use their senses to find food and mates.
