chipmunks are really fascinating. They hibernate in a very "soft" sense of the term, they actually just hoard their food and wait out the winter by sleeping throughout the weeks and waking very minimally to eat and excrete.

What is fascinating with chipmunks though is that they keep very deep tunnels for living spaces, sometimes working on the same tunnel all of their life.

They have separate rooms in their living space, one for sleeping that they keep immaculately clean, another for food storage and yet another for waste and food refuse.

Come spring time (right around your Bday) they actually partake in spring cleaning. Taking all of their waste out of the "bathroom tunnels" and carrying it far, far away and burying it so that predators cannot track them.

Usually squirrels only live a few years but in captivity they have lived close to twenty years.

p.s. Fuck Earth Hour
