Moles are a mammal that lives under the ground in a series of tunnels. These tunnels are dug by the mole. Digging by this species helps to aerate the soil and keeps the ground loose. Ever wonder how moles dig? These furry creatures make a motion much like swimming the breast stroke: on their bellies moving their front paws from the front of them to the sides.
Moles are very good at digging. They can dig up to 15 miles an hour. Moles are not part of the rodent family. They are actually insectivores, or eaters of insects. This makes them more related to the bat family. These creatures cam come in a variety of colors, from black, grey, orange, white and other colors.
