The marsupial moles are rare and poorly understood burrowing mammals of the deserts of western Australia.
When Stirling (1888) initially was unable to find the epipubic bones in Marsupial Moles, speculation was rife: the Marsupial Mole was a monotreme, it was the link between monotremes and marsupials, it had it closest affinities with the (placental) golden moles, it was convergent with edentates, it was a polyprotodont diprotodont, and so on.
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 2-3% of cases, hydatidiform moles may develop into choriocarcinoma, which is a malignant, rapidly growing, and metastatic (spreading) form of cancer.

 Mole (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
The true mole (Talpa Europoea) is not found in Palestine.
But these two Hebrew words ought probably to be combined into one (lahporperoth) and translated "to the moles", i.e., the rat-moles.
This animal "lives in underground communities, making large subterranean chambers for its young and for storehouses, with many runs connected with them, and is decidedly partial to the loose debris among ruins and stone-heaps, where it can form its chambers with least trouble."

There are thought to be two species: the Southern Marsupial Mole (Notoryctes typhlops or itjaritjari by Australian Aborigines), and the Northern Marsupial Mole (Notoryctes caurinus), so similar to one another that they cannot be reliably told apart in the field.
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.
