Moles


Moles are members of the family (Talpidae) of mammals in the order Insectivora that live underground, burrowing holes.

They have cylindrical bodies covered in fur with small or covered eyes; the ears are generally not visible. 

A mole's diet primarily consists of earthworms and other small invertebrates found in the soil and also a variety of nuts.
