Comment
Young Burrowing Owls are particularly endearing for their extra-long legs that stick out from beneath their bodieslike stilts. It's an adaptation for living on the grasslands; with few trees to perch on, Burrowing Owls have evolved to sprint along the ground to capture prey. And without trees for nesting, BurrowingOwls have adapted by living underground in abandoned badger, gopher or prairie dog homes. The chicks stay in the den for the first two weeks, but will soonemerge to explore their world and develop their hunting skills.Packaging:
