What eats chipmunks?

What do chipmunks eat?

Chipmunks are close to the bottom of the food chain, and near the outside of the food web, so a lot of other creatures like to eat them.

The chipmunk’s predators, or natural enemies, include many types of hawks, numerous snakes, and predatory mammals such as weasels and foxes.

A chipmunk must remain very alert in order to stay alive.

And, what does a chipmunk eat? Chipmunks eat seeds, nuts and a variety of vegetation.
