Wild Kratts
Burrowing Owl: Creature Power
Clip | 56sVideo has Closed Captions
The Kratts introduce us to the burrowing owl – a small owl that lives underground!
Chris and Martin are in the desert describing the places where the animals make their homes. The gila woodpecker, for example, makes holes in cacti where it lives and where other animals move into once the woodpecker moves to another spot. On another hand, prairie dogs and ground squirrels make holes on the ground which can later be used by gila monsters, rattlesnakes and even burrowing owls

- I'm Chris, and out here in this desert the earth is dry and sandy, and the landscape is dotted by these awesome saguaro cactus.
- It seems like it could be really tough to make a home out here, but if you look and listen closely, (animal squeaks) check it out, a gila woodpecker has made a hole in that saguaro, and that is where the gila woodpecker lives, but when the woodpecker is done with that whole other animals can move in.
- And in the more grassy areas, ground squirrels and prairie dogs make holes and tunnels underground.
Those burrows and tunnels can be homes for other animals, like gila monsters, rattlesnakes.
- Chris, I think you forgot somebody.
- And burrowing owls.
Can you believe it?
An owl that lives underground, and one of the smallest owls in the world.
A little desert elf.
