Good luck to you and good luck to the chipmunks! There are several food preservation techniques including canning, drying or freezing. Summer is still here, but fall (and the chipmunks) reminds us to preserve some of our food for the coming winter months. They dip into their stash of food throughout the winter when they hibernate. Chipmunks can live in bushes, nests, logs, or even in burrows they’ve dug underground.Ĭhipmunks usually eat nuts, berries, seeds, grain, and fruit which they stuff into their cheeks to store and carry. The other species lives in Asia and is called the tamias sibiricus. Twenty-four out of the 25 species of chipmunks live in North America. Some of their characteristic features include chubby cheeks, stripes, and large, bushy tails. Cute and furry, the chipmunk is the smallest member of the squirrel family ranging from 7 inches to 11 inches. Chipmunk, what are you thinking about? This little critter looks like he’s contemplating how many nuts he’d like to store for the winter.
