Backyard burrowers is a term used to describe moles, which are small mammals that live underground and create tunnels and burrows. They are often found in backyards, hence the name backyard burrowers. Moles have a cylindrical body, short legs, and a long snout with eyes and ears that are hidden beneath their fur. They feed on insects, worms, and other small animals, and can cause damage to lawns and gardens by digging up the soil.
