DESCRIPTION
- Moles spend most of their time underground digging
tunnels.
- Northern moles have star-shaped noses. The star is
made of feelers which are very sensitive to vibration and movement and help the moles find
food.
- Star-nosed moles are only about 6 inches long and
not very fat! But they eat more than their own body weight each day. Most of what they eat
is earthworms.
- Moles don’t have many enemies, although humans
sometimes trap them.
- Star-nosed moles are excellent swimmers and divers,
even though they don't see very well.
