Keeping food out of your tent cannot be overstated. I stupidly left a ziplock with about one M&M and one peanut in it in my pack in my tent at Trail Camp.
A marmot ate an entry hole AND an exit hole in the tent, ate through the pack, and took about twenty dumps on my sleeping bag, seemingly for spite.
This is no laughing matter, but OMG lol, that shithead. Even leaving sweaty or foam things alone can be a problem: those brazen squirrels of the Grand Canyon don't just steal sandwiches from your hand if you look away, they will also create a hole in your tent to get to a foam football and proceed to rip it to shreds.
