I have gathered many fun facts about chipmunks. For the longest time, I didn’t know that chipmunks and squirrels are different kinds of animals. Sure, they have tons of similarities but there are also some amazing differences I think you might not know about. 

One of the main differences between chipmunks and squirrels is that squirrels are a little larger than chipmunks. 

5 Fun Facts About Chipmunks:

1. The term chipmunk is actually derived from the “chip-chip” sound made by the animal. Chipmunks almost sound like birds chirping. 
2. Chipmunks do make nests to live in, but they usually prefer to dig holes underground to live in. The holes can be 6 meters long. 
3. A group of chipmunks is called a scurry. And chipmunk homes are called dens or a burrow (it is also used for other small animals like rabbits). 
4. You’d be shocked to know that an average lifespan of a chipmunk is about 3 years. 
5. Chipmunks love acorns. They can collect about 170 acorns a day. 

I hope you enjoyed the facts. Would like to know some famous chipmunks? If you are a 90s kid you won’t have a problem identifying these chipmunk cartoon characters. Chip ‘n Dale are some of the loveliest characters from Disney. I really enjoyed watching their episodes. 

Alvin and the Chipmunks is also a very fun show that has three cute but kind of troublemakers.
