An animal abode is a place where animals live and take shelter. The most common animal abodes are nests, barns, lairs, dens, and burrows. A NEST is a structure built by birds or other animals to hold their eggs and young. Barns are large buildings used for storing hay, grain, and other agricultural products, as well as housing livestock. Lairs are the homes of wild animals, such as foxes, wolves, and bears. Dens are small, dark, and often underground shelters used by animals such as foxes, badgers, and rabbits. Burrows are tunnels dug by animals such as rabbits, moles, and gophers.
