Most ground squirrels have cheek pouches, but flying and tree squirrels do not. ... When they're present, cheek pouches sit just behind the front teeth on both sides of the face. A muscle in the pouch helps the squirrel empty it once it is back in its burrow, to feed to family members or save for later when food is scarce.
