    Moles, groundhogs, badgers, reptiles. Depending where you live.

      Only the holes, with the dirt kicked back as they dug. No raised tunnels.

      Tbh, I am seeing chipmunks do this, especially when they’re burying food (like my birdseed)

    You’d have to get a look at it. If you wait really still and quiet by the freshest looking hole, you’ll see it push more dirt out eventually. Probably a gopher, judging by the size.

    Could you upload another picture w something next to it for reference size? My instinct is that it looks like a large opening - so gopher or a mole. Or even more fun - Gopher tortoise 🐢 (based on your image) or burrowing owl 🦉 in Florida
