Description
European mole. X-ray of a European mole (Talpa europaea). Teeth can be seen in its conical muzzle at right. The mole uses its broad hands, which are permanently bent outwards for digging, to excavate the tunnels and burrows that it lives in. Waste earth is piled above the ground as molehills. The mole's compact shape allows it to move efficiently below the surface. It is active both day and night, feeding on worms and insects that drop into its tunnels. An acute sense of touch makes up for its poor eyesight.
