WHAT ARE moles?
Moles are best known as Talpidae. They are recognizable for their very sensitive snouts and long, clawed digits that they use to dig tunnels. Moles are small mammals that feed mainly on insects. Their eyes are poorly developed, but they use their sense of touch to make up for their poor vision.
Most moles live in meadows, grassland, woodland, wetland, or riparian habitats. With the burrow tunnels, it's easily noticeable if you have moles.
