	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.
