Definition: Newpudleys are a group of small, burrowing animals found in Scotland. They live underground near wells or water holes, creating their home by burying themselves there. Newpudleys are known for their burrows that are often shallow and narrow, allowing them to conserve space and reduce water loss. The word "newpudley" comes from the Old English "nerunë," which means "to make a hole." This term is used in reference to small animals like newpudleys that use their burrow for shelter.
