part of speech: noun
definition: A chipmunk is a small, furry animal with stripes on its face and back. It has a bushy tail, and it is like a squirrel in many ways. It is smaller than a squirrel, though. Chipmunks eat nuts, seeds, berries, and insects. They make holes in the ground for sleeping and for storing food. Chipmunks live in North America and Asia.
There are chipmunks living under our house, and I sometimes see them running across the yard.
