5 Interesting Facts About Chipmunks!

  • Chipmunks have stretchy cheek pouches that can expand to three times the size of their head - perfect for cramming in as many acorns and seeds as possible in one trip.
  • They're incredibly organised hoarders - a single chipmunk can gather and store up to 165 acorns per day, and remembers where almost all of them are buried.
  • Chipmunks hibernate in winter but don't build up thick fat reserves like bears - instead they wake up every few days to snack from their underground food stash.
  • Despite their tiny size, chipmunks are fiercely territorial and will chase off intruders much larger than themselves with loud chipping alarm calls.
  • There are 25 species of chipmunk - 24 of them live in North America and just one, the Siberian chipmunk, is found in Asia and parts of Europe.
