Chipmunks are very small about 20 to 25 centimeters long.

Chipmunk have sharp claws to dig burrows and to climb tree and to get food. The chipmunk has a brown and a little bit of yellow fur to blend in with the ground and leafs. When a chipmunk gets scared their tails really bushy and then they run as fast as they can also sense far away danger and dashes away for safety. Chipmunks are called chipmunk because chipmunk are know for their chipping.

There are several different kinds of adaptation that a chipmunk has. The first adaptation is that chipmunks can run quickly to get away from predators so the chipmunk dose not get eaten. The second adaptation is that when a chipmunk smells food it goes for the food. Chipmunks have a good sense of smell. Chipmunks colour bend in really good with the out door woods and forest because the brown colour bends in with the mud. Chipmunks also hibernate during the cold cold winter because a little chipmunk can not survive because it is to cold.

There are a lot of interesting fact about chipmunks.

The first interesting fact is that the chipmunks mouth is small but its cheeks can expand to tree times its head size. The second interesting fact is that the chipmunk is in the ground family and probably evolved from a common ancestor which lived in North America

. Only western chipmunks breed once a year. The place where the chipmunks sleep is kept extremely clean as shells and poop are stored in refuse tunnels.

Also chipmunks hibernate ,they do not store fat instead they slowly gnaw away at their food that they got from spring summer and fall.

Chipmunks eat acorns , seed

,berries , young brides , fungi , nuts and insects too. I think a chipmunk is an omnivore because a little bird is part meat. A chipmunk also eats plant and if an animal eats plants and meat so it has to bean omnivore. The way that a chipmunk gets their food is that a chipmunk is a scavenger they eat what ever they can find. seeds acorn snake

Chipmunk are not endangered there are tons around the world. The human are not getting involved in a chipmunks habitat. Chipmunks sometimes die because chipmunks get to old the chipmunk starts to move really really slow and they don't get enough food for the winter. Really the humans have don nothing to the chipmunks. Chipmunks are having the time of their little furry life.
