Mole in zoology, common name for the small, burrowing, insectivorous
mammals of the family Talpidae, found throughout the temperate Northern
Hemisphere. Moles are trapped as pests, although they probably do less
damage than the animals they destroy, and for their fur, which is
highly valued. Typical moles have rounded bodies about 6 in. (15.2 cm)
long covered with soft black or gray fur; they have pointed muzzles and
lack external ears. They have acute hearing and a highly developed
sense of touch at the ends of their noses and tails; their tiny eyes,
covered with skin or buried in fur, are sensitive to changes in light
level but provide little visual acuity. Moles have short, powerful legs
and extremely broad front feet, which are used as shovels and are
equipped with enormous digging claws. They can move backwards almost as
rapidly as forwards, and most are good swimmers. Moles tunnel just
below the surface of the ground, where they hunt for food. Their
tunnels make ridges and mounds in fields, gardens, and lawns; quarters
for living, nesting, and wintering are in deeper burrows. A single mole
can dig about 20 yd (18 m) of tunnel in a day. Moles are voracious
eaters, consuming about half their own weight daily. Their diet
consists mainly of earthworms and insects, but also includes small
mammals such as mice; one mole may even kill and eat another when they
happen to meet. They are solitary most of the year, but during the
breeding season they travel in pairs. The litter, born in the spring
after four weeks of gestation, consists of two to seven young. Typical
species include the common European mole, Talpia europaea, and the eastern, or garden, mole of North America, Scalopus aquaticus, both about 6 in. (15.2 cm) long with a 1-in. (2.54-cm) tail. The largest moles are the western moles of North America, genus Scapanus, which may reach a length of 9 in. (22.9 cm). The smallest New World mole is the 3-in. (7.6-cm) shrew mole, Neurotrichus gibsii,
of the Pacific Northwest, which resembles a shrew and prefers a forest
habitat, spending much time above ground. The strangest-looking of the
family is the star-nosed mole, Condylure christata, of
northeastern North America, which has a ring of mobile fleshy
protuberances around its snout. This mole is a good diver and leads a
semiaquatic life; apparently it uses the protuberances to pick up
sounds in the water. There are no true moles in the Southern
Hemisphere. The golden moles of S Africa are members of the
insectivorous family Chrysochloridae; they are burrowing animals with
bright golden fur. There are burrowing rodents in Africa called strand
moles and burrowing marsupials in Australia called marsupial moles.
True moles are classified in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Insectivora, family Talpidae.
