MARVELLOUS MOLES
Beneath your feet a mole could
be prowling through its dark
network of underground
tunnels. It spends most
of its time digging and
waiting for wormy
prey to fall through
the soily ceiling.
Star-nosed mole
Tentacles around this mole’s
mouth can detect the electrical
signals of nearby prey. The
star-nosed mole is the fastest
eating mammal on Earth!
Eastern
mole
This mole lives
in North America.
Like most moles,
it has spade-like
hands to help dig
through the soil.

Eastern moles are
nearly blind –
they have no need
to see underground.
