Are you sure you can't get some more in there? Chipmunk tries to get as many peanuts in his mouth as possible

While visiting a cabin in the woods for a week, a couple finds a very friendly chipmunk. This little chipmunk decided the peanuts that the humans had were too good to refuse. They offered, and the adorable little chipmunk decided to take as many of those delicious peanuts with him as possible. He may have overestimated how big his cheeks could get, though.

Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet primarily consisting of seeds, nuts and other fruits, and buds. They also commonly eat grass, shoots, and many other forms of plant matter, as well as fungi, insects and other arthropods, small frogs, worms, and bird eggs.

Around humans, chipmunks can eat cultivated grains and vegetables, and other plants from farms and gardens, so they are sometimes considered pests.


Chipmunks mostly forage on the ground, but they climb trees to obtain nuts such as hazelnuts and acorns.At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile nonperishable foods for winter.

They mostly cache their foods in a larder in their burrows and remain in their nests until spring, unlike some other species, which make multiple small caches of food. Cheek pouches allow chipmunks to carry multiple food items to their burrows for either storage or consumption.
