Shrews, on the other hand, are smaller and typically live in simpler burrows, using them for shelter and raising their young.
Tunneldwellers play a crucial role in their ecosystems. Their digging activities aerate the soil, which improves
The behavior and biology of tunneldwellers vary among species. Some, like the European mole, are solitary and
Despite their ecological importance, tunneldwellers face several threats. Habitat loss due to urbanization and agriculture can
