How does the chipmunk help other animals?

In: Chipmunks and Squirrels [Edit categories]

Answer:

A chipmunk could help other animals by planting seeds. When a chipmunk scurries to its burrow, it usually drops seeds, these seeds grow into plants for animals such as deer to eat.

And a chipmunk builds a small burrow underground, when the chipmunk moves to a new location, it leaves its burrow behind, this burrow can then become a burrow for other animals such as rabbits and raccoons to live in.
