A burrowing insectivore is an animal that feeds on insects and lives in underground tunnels, such as a MOLE. The term 'burrowing insectivore' is often used to describe small mammals like moles, which are four-legged animals with long snouts and short tails. They have powerful claws that help them dig through soil and create their underground homes. Moles are found in many parts of the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia.
