How Do Chipmunks Get Ready?
A chipmunk runs around looking for food. In the winter, it will take the food into its burrow, or underground home.
Chipmunks are animals that hibernate, or sleep, in the winter. They get ready by finding plenty of nuts and seeds to eat.

A chipmunk gathers leaves. It makes a nest in its burrow. It saves some food under its nest.
In the winter, a chipmunk curls up and sleeps. It may wake up to have a snack of nuts or seeds.
