The mole is a small, burrowing mammal known for its velvety fur, small eyes, and spade-like hands adapted for digging. Moles are highly specialized for living underground and are found in various habitats, including gardens, lawns, meadows, and forests. They have a cylindrical body, short legs, and no visible ears, which help them move efficiently through soil. Moles have excellent senses of touch and smell, allowing them to navigate and locate food in their subterranean environment. They mainly feed on insects, earthworms, and other small invertebrates found in the soil. Moles are solitary animals and are highly adapted to their fossorial lifestyle, with specialized adaptations such as enlarged front claws, reduced eyesight, and a unique bone structure that enables efficient tunneling.
