Moles live in tunnel systems below the ground. Their bodies are perfect for burrowing beneath the ground, which is why they live their entire in the soil. Here, they feed on worms.
Their tunnels are virtually never-ending. They only stop digging them once they're dead, and they can dig up to 18 feet of tunnel a day!
The more they dig, the more soil comes out on top. Because of this, you can often spot the distinctive mole hills in your yard.
While they're digging, they're also looking for food. They feed primarily on worms, and they can eat up to 50 pounds of worms in a year. Moles have also developed an intricate system of storing their food.
Sometimes, they feel full and don't want to eat a worm, so they paralyze it with a their toxic saliva and return to eat it later on!
They're also very territorial. If you have a mole in your garden, know that you have a single mole in your garden! It's very rare for more than a single mole to occupy a single living area!
