Chipmunks: More Than a Cute Face
花栗鼠：不只有張呆萌的臉蛋
With their round cheeks and big eyes, chipmunks are one of the cutest animals around. But there’s a lot more to them than just their looks! Read on to learn more about these little forest mammals.
花栗鼠有著圓圓的臉頰和大眼睛，是周圍最可愛的動物之一。但牠們遠不只有外表而已！繼續讀下去，以多了解這些小型森林哺乳動物。

Chipmunks love to sleep
Chipmunks in captivity usually sleep for around 15 hours a day, although wild chipmunks typically sleep a bit less. And like many other mammals, chipmunks hibernate. During hibernation, their heart rate drops from 350 beats per minute to only 4 beats per minute! But unlike many other mammals, chipmunks don’t hibernate for the entire winter. In between long, deep sleeps, they wake up occasionally to consume food they’ve stored in their burrows so that they have enough fat reserves to stay protected from the cold.
花栗鼠喜愛睡覺
圈養的花栗鼠通常一天會睡十五小時左右，雖然野生的花栗鼠通常睡得少一點。就跟許多其他哺乳動物一樣，花栗鼠會冬眠。在冬眠期間，牠們的心率會從每分鐘三百五十下降到每分鐘只有四下！但與許多其他哺乳動物不同的是，花栗鼠不會整個冬天都在冬眠。在漫長的沈睡之間，牠們偶爾會醒來吃儲存在洞穴裡的食物，這樣牠們才能有足夠的脂肪儲備來持續禦寒。

Most chipmunk species are found in North America
Of the 25 chipmunk species, 24 can be found across Canada, America, and Mexico. The only species that is found elsewhere is the Siberian chipmunk, which ranges from northern Russia to Japan and southern China. In addition, Siberian chipmunks started to become a popular pet in Europe in the 1960s, and some of these pet owners later released their chipmunks into the wild. As a result, Siberian chipmunks can also now be found in forests across Europe.
大多數的花栗鼠物種都存在於北美洲
在二十五種花栗鼠中，有二十四種分布在加拿大、美國和墨西哥各地。唯一在別處發現的物種是西伯利亞花栗鼠，分布範圍從俄羅斯北部到日本與中國南部。此外，西伯利亞花栗鼠在一九六○年代開始成為歐洲的人氣寵物，而其中有一些飼主後來將他們的花栗鼠野放。因此，西伯利亞花栗鼠現在也可在歐洲各地的森林裡見到。

Chipmunks tend to prefer living alone
Although it’d be cute if a bunch of chipmunks curled up together, chipmunks normally try to avoid each other except when mating, and they can actually be quite territorial. This doesn’t mean they don’t help each other out from time to time, though. Chipmunks make various sounds to warn each other about predators. For example, they typically make a string of high-pitched sounds called chips for ground predators and make low-pitched sounds called chucks for flying predators like hawks or owls.
花栗鼠通常比較喜歡獨居
雖然如果有一群花栗鼠蜷縮在一起會很可愛，但除了交配外，花栗鼠通常會盡量避開彼此，且事實上牠們地盤意識可能非常強烈。不過，這並不表示牠們不會三不五時互相幫忙。花栗鼠會發出各種聲音來警告彼此注意掠食者。比方說，牠們通常會發出一串叫做吉吉的高音調聲音來表示有地面掠食者，還會發出叫做恰恰的低音調聲音來表示有鷹或貓頭鷹之類的飛行掠食者。

Chipmunks can stuff incredible amounts of food into their cheeks
Chipmunks carry food in their cheeks, which can swell up to three times the size of their head. In fact, chipmunks can carry as much as their own body weight in their cheeks. Some chipmunks have even been observed transporting over 160 acorns to their burrows in a single day!
花栗鼠可以把驚人的食物量塞進臉頰
花栗鼠會把食物裝在臉頰裡，其臉頰可以膨脹到頭的三倍大！事實上，花栗鼠的臉頰可以攜帶跟牠們體重一樣多的重量。有些花栗鼠甚至被觀察到在一天內將一百六十幾個橡實運送到牠們的洞穴中！

Chipmunks aren’t picky eaters
Besides seeds and nuts, chipmunks eat everything from fruits, insects, and worms to snails and baby birds. 
花栗鼠不挑食
除了種子和堅果，花栗鼠從果實、昆蟲和蠕蟲到蝸牛和幼鳥的所有東西都能吃下肚。

From their surprising sleeping habits to their giant cheeks, chipmunks have many interesting characteristics beyond their appearance. However, nobody could blame you if your favorite thing about chipmunks remained how cute they are. Just look at them! 
從令人意外的睡眠習慣到巨大的臉頰，花栗鼠除了外表外還有許多有趣的特徵。然而，如果你還是最愛花栗鼠的萌樣，沒有人會怪你。只要看到牠們就知道了！
