Gives shelter and food for chipmunk. Chipmunk spreads seeds when it poops the oak nut out.Has a parasitism relationship with hawks.mHawk has food, Chipmunk is dead. They can run fast to get away from predators. They also have a good sense of smell to sense danger. The color of their bodies help them blend into the surrounding areas. Their sharp teeth and claws are used to find and dig up food or to make burrows. They are sexual. Two chipmunks (male and female) get together and have sex then sperm and egg unite. Which results into a zygote then an embryo. Which forms a baby chipmunk.
