In Kansas and Missouri, the most common mole is the Eastern Mole.
Moles spend most of their time underground.
They do have eyes, but can distinguish only between light and dark. They have enlarged, strong front feet with elongated claws which enable them to dig through a large amount of earth for their size. Moles construct a series of tunnels in the ground. Temporary ones just below the ground surface for feeding, and permanent ones 10-18 inches beneath the surface. A large chamber in the deeper runways is used as a retreat during drought, heat, cold, and as a nest for the young.
