Yellow-cheeked chipmunk
[edit]- ... that the yellow-cheeked chipmunk may include insects among its otherwise vegetarian diet?

Expansion of about 10x. Seems long enough. No obvious signs of plagiarism. Hook could be stronger, but should be interesting enough. Though I can't access the source of the hook, it seem credible. —CodeHydro 00:00, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Eating insects is pretty common for small squirrels, does the source specify what kind of insects or anything of the sort? Personally I don't like hooks like this, since they might imply, say, that this chipmunk is the only one to eat insects. Others may have different opinions though. —innotata 04:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- The researchers simply stated they found insect wings in the stomach contents. Its difficult to find something unique about this species. How about
- ALT1 ... that the yellow-cheeked chipmunk is secretive in its habits and is more likely to be heard than seen? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
ALT1 works, it's sourced. I'd prefer it for my part. —innotata 19:27, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
