Moles live almost exclusively underground, so they are rarely seen.
Moles are small mammals 6 to 7 inches long with dark gray or brown fur.
Moles have long, narrow snouts, small eyes, and no visible ears.
A mole’s feet, nose and tail are pink and their front feet are equipped with well-developed claws that allow them to dig rapidly.
Starnose moles have 22 pink tentacles on the tip of the nose, dark brown or black fur, and a hairy tail. (The starnose mole is functionally blind and uses the star-shaped appendage to feel its way around and to identify prey.)
