: I like the second two, but I think an alternative for the "mast" is forrajero. I am posting a site below. To Eloy, if the den is among the roots of the trees, like foxes, chipmunks, and so on, could this be a madriguera?

Thanks Jessica! You may well be right about forrajero, because mast is a term that seems to cover more than just the fruit.

: I agree buuuut I think that it would be better to put "guarida" or "refugio" instead of "madriguera", because "madriguera" is a tunnel dug in the soil, not a hollow in a tree.

Thanks Eloy! The FAO glossary records "madriguera de árbol" for tree den, which in a way confirms what you are saying.

Maybe "madriguera" is also proper in this case, but as a Castilian speaker, the mental image I have of this term is of a tunnel or hollow dug in the ground. That's why I prefer "refugio" or "guarida".
