To store and consume large amounts of food at any one time.
a hamster can store food in the pouches in his cheeks
Very big
Some hamsters have big cheeks due to their natural behavior of food hoarding. They have specialized pouches in their cheeks where they can store food to carry back to their nests or burrows. This behavior helps them survive in the wild by allowing them to store and save food for later consumption.
Rabbits do not store food in their cheeks like some other animals such as hamsters or chipmunks. Rabbits have a unique digestive system that requires them to constantly eat and pass food through their system to maintain proper gut health. They do have a small pouch in their esophagus called a "gullet" that can temporarily store food before it is swallowed, but this is not the same as cheek pouches found in other animals.
A group of Chipmunks is called a "sweet" of Chipmunks! Isn't that cute?!
You are probably referring to chipmunks. I don't think they actually have pouches in their cheeks (marsupials (kangaroos, wombats, etc) are the only pouched animals I know of), but Chipmunks certainly do use their cheeks to hold food. Humans do it too, though it's poor table manners to take a bite that big. Unlike chipmunks, however, we don't usually run around until after we've swallowed.
yes of course they can
Chipmunks are usually depicted with their cheeks bulging and full of nuts. However, chipmunks eat much more than just nuts.

Chipmunks will make a chirping sound and run at the face of a threat. They will generally take food to their burrows in their cheeks if the see it any ware. They also use their chirping sound to attract mates. There is not much else in their environment that they need to respond to.
