	G9440 Controlling Nuisance Moles, MU Extension
		Moles are small mammals that spend most of their lives in underground burrows.
		Moles rarely eat flower bulbs, ornamentals or other vegetative material while tunneling, but plants may be physically disturbed as moles tunnel in search of animal organisms in the soil.
		Mole repellents with castor oil as the active ingredient are now on the market and may potentially prevent eastern mole damage under certain circumstances.

	Getting Rid of Moles - Mole Extermination
		Moles may be distinguished from meadow voles, gophers, and shrews by their naked, pointed nose that extends well in front of the mouth.
		Certain mole tunnels of both the deeper runways and the sub surface runways are used as major lane of travel (main runways) and may be used by several moles in the areas.
		Moles may be active during any time of the day and seem to prefer cool, moist soil (the same as that preferred by grubs and earthworms).

	Ground Moles
		Moles have very extensive underground systems including travel tunnels which are used daily and foraging tunnels which are rarely re-used.
		When a mole is observed pushing through the tunnel, it may be killed with a shovel or similar instrument.
		If moles burrow around a trap, the soil has been flattened too tightly or part of the trap is projecting into the tunnel and is alarming the mole.

	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.

	Moles
		Moles are territorial and solitary animals, and need a large territory in which to forage for enough food to survive.
		Mole control is not an exact science and there are no easy answers, but alternatives range from persistently stamping down tunnels to traps and repellents.
		However, moles also eat earthworms - which are desired in a healthy soil - and the lack of grubs could cause the mole to dig even more tunnels looking farther for the food.

	The Hindu : Sci Tech / Speaking Of Science : Moles in animal world, skin and chemistry
		Moles contain twice as much blood and haemoglobin as other mammals of similar size, helping them in breathing easily underground, where oxygen is low and carbon dioxide high.
		It is probably this underground habitat and nosey sense of the mole that led Francis Bacon, in 1626, to use the word mole for a spy.
		For chemists, the mole is not an animal, nor a skin mark or a sauce but a unit of measurement.

		The mole is about the size of a chipmunk and weighs about 100 grams (or four ounces).
		The mole's nearly naked tail acts as an organ of touch which allows the animal to move backwards in its tunnels, although it can, thanks to a narrow hip girdle, perform a somersault in the burrow.
		Moles may be found wherever the soil is sufficiently thick, pliable and adhesive enough to support a tunnel system and is adequately populated with wee beasties for food.

	The Nature Institute - How Does a Mole View the World?
		Moles have very small eyes that are functional, but in many species they are not discernable until one pushes aside the fur.
		Interestingly, the star-nosed mole's eyes are usually visible and its forepaws are proportionally not as large as in many other moles.
		Although it surrounds the nose, the star is not part of the mole's sense of smell, and the mole doesn't use it as an appendage to grab and handle food.

		His first research subject was the star-nosed mole-an animal that looks very much like an ordinary mole except that has a peculiar star of fleshy appendages ringing its nose.
		When one detects something of potential interest, such as an unfortunate earthworm, then the mole moves its nose quickly to bring one of the central rays into contact, giving it a superior tactile image of the object so it can determine whether it is something good to eat.
		By looking at the development of the mole's nose and brain, he was able to determine that the central appendages get a head start in the development process.

	Mole. The Animal In You
		The mole is a smallish individual with far more power than its flaccid body suggests, although its strength is more mental than physical.
		There's something compelling about the mole personality, and in the early sixties it was quite fashionable to be a mole in the form of a creative and philosophical beatnik -- expressing angst through music and poetry.
		Moles are restless and although constantly engaged in activity, they never seem to get anything done and despite their drab appearance, they have extremely sharp minds and are excellent problem solvers.

		The common animal mole is an active creature capable of digging 12 feet or more in an hour and can develop an elaborate tunneling network beneath your yard.
		The animal mole will dig two types of tunnels: 1) those that are deeply nested and need air neutralization, hence the reason for the mounds; 2) those that are used once or twice for feeding purposes only.

		Moles have a short neck, and muscular forelegs support broad, heavily clawed feet.
		The mole's diet is almost entirely animal, including earthworms, white grubs, ants, beetles and other subterranean insects.
		These tunnels are seldom reused by the mole, so a large network of the raised tunnels dug by one or two moles can ruin a lawn's appearance over time.

	ADW: Scalopus aquaticus: Information
		Young eastern moles are cared for and nursed by their mother in her nest and tunnel system until they are weaned.
		When they burrow, these moles essentially "dive" into the earth; they first thrust their forefeet into the soil and then follow with the head and body as they rotate their forelimbs and pull the loosened dirt backwards.
		The eastern mole is not endangered but has suffered persecution by avid gardeners and farmers who are displeased by the mounds of earth left behind and by the root damage caused by this animal.

	Vanderbilt University Register: Neuroscientist receives fellowship to study bizarre mammals: star-nosed mole, naked ...
		His first research subject was the star-nosed mole -- an animal that looks very much like an ordinary mole except that it has a peculiar star of fleshy appendages ringing its nose.
		Some have proposed that it is a super-sensitive olfactory organ that helps the nearly blind moles to sniff their way around underground.
		An indication of just how important these teeth are to the animal is the fact that fully 30 percent of its cortex is devoted to processing information from the region where the teeth are located, Catania said.

	Naked mole rat
		Almost hairless, except for whiskers, so appearing yellowish or pinkish in colour, depending on how hot or cold the mole rat is. The skin is wrinkly, the eyes are so small as to be almost useless and the front incisor teeth are enormous and stick out of the front of the mouth.
		Tunnels are dug just beneath the surface using those giant incisor teeth like drills, as the animals search for roots and tubers which they either eat, or take back to the main nest tunnels where the tubers may be stored to be eaten at a later stage.
		All the other mole rats behave as helpers, devoting their lives to digging and collecting food that is brought back to the central nest through the tunnel system, to feed the others and the babies.

	Marsh-dwelling mole gives new meaning to the term 'fast food'
		The star-nosed mole, operating in the Stygian darkness of its burrow, can detect the presence of a tasty tidbit, such as an insect larva or tiny worm, determine that it is edible and gulp it down in half that time.
		This inefficient behavior suggests that the moles are operating at, or near, the limit set by the speed which the mole's nervous system can process touch information, the researchers conclude.
		The ability to handle prey so quickly and efficiently appears to provide the star-nosed mole with a real advantage: It should be able to live on a diet of smaller animals than its slower competitors, such as shrews and other kinds of moles found in the same area.
