Peanuts in a cup is Friendly's favourite meal.
Chipmunks are ground-dwelling rodents of the squirrel family. One species that is common in North America is Tamias striatus, the eastern chipmunk.
Chipmunks carry food in cheek pouches. They sleep in winter but leave their burrows on warm days.
Chipmunks are solitary animals. In Canada, chipmunks usually have only one breeding season from mid-April to mid-May and one litter.
Chipmunks can be seriously wounded when they compete among themselves for females or with large animals such as red squirrels for food and space.
A chipmunk spends much of its day collecting and storing food.
A chipmunk's diet is seeds and nuts supplemented with insects, earthworms, berries, cherry and plum pits, mushrooms and occasionally eggs.
