Great job reading the sentence! There is a small grammar mistake.
Original: Many animals, like squirrels, hide food in its winter stash.
Corrected: Many animals, like squirrels, hide food in their winter stashes.
Why? (Easy steps)
- 1. "Many animals" means more than one animal (plural).
- 2. "Its" is used for one thing (singular). For many things we say "their."
- 3. So we change "its" to "their."
- 4. Because there are many animals, we usually say "stashes" (plural), so "their winter stashes" sounds best.
More examples
- One squirrel hides food in its stash.
- Many squirrels hide food in their stashes.
Try this: Change "the dog wagged its tail" (one dog) to "the dogs wagged their tails" (many dogs).
