Moles

What Is A Mole?

A mole is a small burrowing rodent that has a rounded body about 6 inches long and covered in soft black or gray fur. Moles have pointed muzzles and lack external ears. They also are equipped with extremely sensitive hearing and a highly developed sense of touch at the ends of their noses and tails.

Why Do I Have Them?
