burrow
Underground animal dwelling
A burrow is a hole or tunnel dug by a small animal for shelter—rabbits, foxes, and groundhogs live in burrows.
To burrow is to dig such a passage, or to move by digging: The mole burrowed under the garden.
Extended uses describe any nestling or tunneling motion: She burrowed under the covers.
To burrow into something is to investigate it deeply: He burrowed into the archives looking for evidence.
