"Burrowing" is interpreted broadly to not only include holes dug by the animals but such specialized locations as holes in cactus plants, locations under logs and rocks, and burrows in beach sand. Mammals get particular emphasis, such as armadillos, skunks, moles, badgers, aardvarks, water shrew, and the egg-laying platypus and the spiny echidna. Other vertebrates include birds, fish (the lungfish), amphibians (e.g., spadefoot toad), and reptiles. A few invertebrates are also included, notably leaf- cutting ants (with their elaborate burrow systems), earthworms, hunting wasps, and trapdoor spiders.
The illustrations are excellent, and the text, interesting and accurate. A glossary is included, as is an index and suggestions for further reading. ( )
