	Mole (mammal) - MSN Encarta
		The typical mole of the eastern United States is the eastern, or garden, mole, which is 12 to 21 cm (5 to 8 in) long, of which 2 to 4 cm (.8 to 1.6 in) is naked tail.
		The shrew mole is the smallest of the American moles.
		The eastern mole is classified as Scalopus aquaticus, the western mole as Scapanus townsendii, the hairy-tailed mole as Parascalops breweri, the star-nosed mole as Condylura cristata, and the shrew mole as Neurotrichus gibbsii.

	WDFW -- Landscaping for Wildlife
		Moles spend almost their entire lives underground and have much in common with pocket gophers—small weak eyes, small hips for turning around in tight places, and velvety fur that is reversible to make backing up easy.
		Moles may work one portion of their tunnel system for a few days and then move on some distance away to another portion of the system, which may be in the neighbor's yard.
		Moles are unclassified and people may trap or kill moles on their own property when they are causing damage to crops, domestic animals, or their property (RCW 77.36.030).

	mole, in zoology. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Moles are trapped as pests, although they probably do less damage than the animals they destroy, and for their fur, which is highly valued.
		Moles have short, powerful legs and extremely broad front feet, which are used as shovels and are equipped with enormous digging claws.
		This mole is a good diver and leads a semiaquatic life; apparently it uses the protuberances to pick up sounds in the water.

	Mole Biology
		There are seven North American mole species: the eastern mole, hairy-tailed mole, star-nosed mole, broad-footed mole, Townsend’s mole, coast mole, and shrew mole.
		The most wide-ranging is the eastern mole, which is found from eastern Texas, north to southern South Dakota and eastward to the Atlantic Ocean.
		Moles tend to be very aggressive and will kill and consume voles or mice that may venture into their tunnels.

		Nestling moles are whitish, wrinkled, and naked except for short whiskers on the snout and facial hairs near the eyes and on the lips.
		Hairy-tailed moles house certain endoparasites: Acanthocephalid worms are fequently found in the intestine, roundworms are found in the stomachs of some of the moles, fleas and mites are the most numerous ectoparasites, occurring in the greatest abundance in the spring and summer.
		The southernmost distributed of the western North American moles, the broad-footed mole occurs from southern Oregon, south along the Pacific coastal regions to the San Pedro Martir Mountains in Baja California.

	Mole biology
		Moles are covered by a soft grey pelage that is hinged to allow it to move in any direction.
		These two statements seem to lend a mystic quality to moles and their behavior but moles are creatures of habit and they do behave in fairly predictable ways depending on what they have and what they need.
		Because mole tunneling and damage is generally progressive (moles continually adding on new tunnels to the old year after year) the amount or kind of lawn damage at any given time is not indicative of the number of moles present.

	CT DEP: Least Shrew Fact Sheet
		The least shrew is the smallest of the North American shrews and one of the smallest mammals found in Connecticut.
		The highly social and gregarious least shrew often cooperates in building burrows or nests, which are sometimes shared with other least shrews during the nesting and wintering seasons.
		The size of the least shrew and its preferred habitat are reflected in historic names, such as little short-tailed shrew, little shrew and field shrew.

	The Mole
		The mole is arguably the most efficient excavating mammal on the planet. It digs with a breast-stroke style of motion, made possible because its front limbs are set on opposite sides of its shoulders and are rotated,
		When digging, the mole brushes dirt within reach of its back legs, and then kicks the soil away to keep the work area clean. It will frequently turn around in the tunnel and push the excavated dirt up to the surface, creating those trademark molehills.
		There are 22 species of ‘true’ moles, most of which live entirely underground. The exceptions are desmans (small creatures with paddle-like hindfeet and a long snout), which are aquatic; the semi-aquatic Star-nosed Mole; and the shrew-moles, the smallest of all moles, which are active foragers on the surface.

	American Shrew Mole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American shrew mole, Neurotrichus gibbsii, is the smallest North American mole.
		Its front paws are smaller and do not face outwards from the body as in other fossorial moles and so are more similar to those of shrews.
		This mole is often active above ground, foraging in leaf litter for earthworms, insects, snails and slugs.
