burrowing
Burrowing is the process by which certain animals create tunnels or holes in the ground to live, hide, or search for food. This behavior is common among various species, including moles, rabbits, and earthworms. Burrows provide protection from predators and harsh weather, as well as a safe place to raise young.
The structure of a burrow can vary significantly depending on the animal. Some burrows are simple, while others can be complex networks with multiple chambers. These underground homes help maintain a stable environment, allowing animals to thrive in their habitats.
