They have long pointed noses, short upright tails, tiny eyes and large feet like shovels with five claws for digging.
Moles eat earthworms, insect larvae and slugs.
They live underground in burrows and dig tunnels to hunt insects and larvae. They go above ground, mainly at night when they are at the mercy of other animals.
Moles are not popular with farmers and landscapers because their burrowing leaves piles of earth above ground called molehills.
