Cheek pouches are pockets on both sides of the head of some mammals between the jaw and the cheek. They can be found on mammals including the platypus, some rodents, and most monkeys,[1][2] as well as the marsupial koala.[3] The cheek pouches of chipmunks can reach the size of their body when full.
