Under Your Feet

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.
