A "den" typically refers to a small, cozy room in a house where people can relax, read, or engage in hobbies. It often serves as a private space for family members to unwind and enjoy leisure activities. Dens can be furnished with comfortable seating, bookshelves, and personal items that reflect the interests of the occupants. In a wildlife context, a den is a shelter or home for certain animals, such as foxes or bears. These dens provide safety and a place for raising young. They are often located in secluded areas, such as under rocks or in hollow trees, offering protection from predators and harsh weather.
