fox den
Underground canine home
A fox den is the underground burrow where foxes live, raise their young, and shelter from weather and predators.
Foxes often dig their own dens or enlarge abandoned rabbit warrens or badger setts.
The entrance typically has a mound of excavated earth nearby: We spotted a fox den at the edge of the meadow.
