Moles
Moles are small animals that live underground. They have soft fur, small eyes and ears, and big paws for digging. Moles are found in many parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Although some people don't like moles in their gardens, they actually help the soil and other animals by eating insects and worms.
Some interesting things about moles:
- Moles can breathe underground even when there isn't much oxygen
- They have an extra thumb on their front paws that helps them dig
- Moles eat mostly earthworms and can store them alive to eat later
- Baby moles are born in the spring and leave their mother after about a month
Moles are mostly solitary animals, but males will look for females to mate with. They do not like to share their territory with other moles and can be very aggressive towards each other.
In summary, moles are small animals that live underground, eat insects and worms, and have some interesting adaptations to help them survive in their environment.
