A burrowing beast is an animal that digs tunnels and lives underground. Two examples of burrowing beasts are the WOMBAT and the MOLE. The WOMBAT is a marsupial native to Australia, with a stocky body and short legs. It is known for its ability to dig deep burrows in the ground. The MOLE is a small mammal found in many parts of the world, with a cylindrical body and velvety fur. It is adapted for digging and spends most of its life underground.
