	Marsupial mole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The marsupial moles are rare and poorly understood burrowing mammals of the deserts of western Australia.
		Marsupial moles provide a remarkable example of convergent evolution, with moles generally, and with the golden moles of Africa in particular.
		Molecular level analysis in the early 1980s showed that the marsupial moles are not closely related to any of the living marsupials, and that they appear to have followed a separate line of development for a very long time, at least 50 million years.

		In 1985, the vast newly discovered limestone fossil deposits at Riverseigh in northern Queensland yielded a major surprise: marsupial mole fossils between 15 and 20 million years old, which were by no means identical to the living species but clearly related, and possibly even of a direct ancestor.
		The most striking difference between placental moles and marsupial moles is the color of their fur.
		Because they live underground, Marsupial Moles are blind and have a very poor sense of hearing, but their senses of touch and of smell are quite highly developed.

	Marsupial mole - Notoryctes typhlops: More Information - ARKive
		The marsupial mole is found in the central deserts of southern Northern Territory, northern and east-central Western Australia and western South Australia (1) (2).
		The distinct triple-tracks of the marsupial mole, created by the hind feet and the hard tail swinging from side to side are most often found following rain, but it is not clear whether the mole emerges from under the sand more often after rain or whether the tracks are simply more obvious.
		Reported separately as both diurnal and nocturnal, the marsupial mole appears to be quite active, pursuing prey including ant pupae, scarab beetle larvae, sawfly larvae, moth larvae and adult beetles with fervour (2).

	* Mole - (Animals): Definition
		Mole is the common name for several small burrowing mammals, including the true moles, the golden moles, and the marsupial moles.
		Moles are fossorial, living much of their life underground in burrows, but are occasionally active on surface.
		Mole rats are a favorite prey and it is thought that the serval's large ears aid in detecting the underground scratchings of these burrowing animals.

		In Australia, there are four distinctive groups: the carnivorous marsupials; the marsupial mole; the bandicoot group; and a large group known as "diprotondonts," which includes koalas, wombats, possums, and kangaroos.
		In most marsupials, the first toe of the hindfoot is opposable to the other four and it lacks a claw; however, many terrestrial marsupials have lost this toe.
		When newborn marsupials emerge from their mother's reproductive tract and crawl to the pouch, they are tiny and have just begun forming functional organs.

		A hundred years ago, millions of these marsupials (animals that carry their young in a pouch) existed in Australia, and it was a popular sport to shoot them out of the trees.

		The name of the Mole of Hadrian (mole I Hadriani) is sometimes given to the mausoleum of that emperor, now the castle of St Angelo at Rome.
		The mole is one of the most voracious of mammals, and, if deprived of food, is said to succumb in from ten to twelve hours.
		Almost any kind of flesh is eagerly devoured by captive moles, which have been seen, as if maddened by hunger, to attack animals nearly as large as themselves, such as birds, lizards, frogs, and even snakes; toads, however, they will not touch, and no form of vegetable food attracts their notice.

		Marsupials are mammals in which the female typically has a pouch in which it rears its young through early infancy.
		Newborn marsupials undergo most of their development attached to one of their mother's nipples and nourished by her milk.
		There are several cases of convergent evolution between marsupials and placental mammals, in which the two animals have evolved to fill the same ecological niche in different parts of the world.

		The burrowing technique of the marsupial moles is a modified form of the parasagittal digging method that is used by other fossorial mammals, such as golden moles, armadillos and some rodents including pocket gophers.
		The functional morphology of the tail is uniquely specialised in the marsupial moles to function as the fifth limb during the pentapedal burrowing locomotion of marsupial moles.
		It is hypothesised that the Miocene marsupial mole was already substantially specialised for a fossorial lifestyle, and thus pre-adapted for a subterranean lifestyle developed in correlation with the desertification of the Australian continent.

	Facts Sheets - Southern Marsupial Mole (Notoryctes typhlops)
		So little is known about the marsupial mole's current conservation status that it is highly speculative to describe current threats for the species.
		Predation by feral cats, foxes and dingos of moles when they are above ground, and soil compaction by stock movements or by vehicles, may be potential threats to the long-term survival of the species.
		If you fortunate enough to be in a position to make observations in relation to the marsupial mole be sure to report all these observations to a Threatened Species Coordinator or the wildlife authority in your state or territory.

	Abiogenesis and the Origin of Life
		One of the most common criticisms that creationism is hit with is that the exclusive marsupial fauna of the Australian region is great evidence against the story of the Ark and animal migration from it.
		The Marsupial nature of Australia is not an anomaly but rather a revelation of the true history or equation of animal migration and adaptation after leaving the Ark. It suits creationists fine.
		Marsupial dogs and cats are the same kinds as regular dogs and cats, and likewise related to dogs and cats (in the fossil record but now extinct) also with minor regional body differences that lived in certain places on earth.

	The Mole
		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.
