where do chipmunks live?
Chipmunks live in burrows under the earth's surface. Several families of chipmunks may share one burrow, and they typically have several chambers for storing food and sleeping. These creatures dwell on the ground, and they do not typically climb or live in trees, though they do sometimes venture into lower branches of smaller shrubs and trees. Chipmunks are common in areas where there are many nut trees, since they stockpile nuts as a food source in the winter.
