Burrowing Owl with Owlets

The Burrowing Owl is a small owl species that lives in underground burrows, often made by other animals like prairie dogs or tortoises. It lacks ear tufts and has long legs that help it run on the ground. It eats insects, small mammals, and other animals, and hunts at dawn and dusk. It can make a rattlesnake sound to scare away predators. It is found in dry areas with low vegetation in North and Central America.
