A burrowing creature is an animal that digs tunnels or holes in the ground for shelter and protection. The two most common burrowing creatures are rabbits and moles. Rabbits are small mammals with long ears, short tails, and powerful hind legs. They typically live in underground burrows called warrens. Moles are small mammals with cylindrical bodies, velvety fur, and large front feet adapted for digging. They create extensive tunnel systems in the ground to search for food and to make their homes.
