Fascinating Facts About Moles

Moles spend almost their entire lives underground in extensive networks of burrows. Their velvety fur can bend in any direction, allowing them to move backward and forward through tight tunnels without catching dirt in their coat. Although many people think moles are blind, they actually have small eyes capable of detecting light and movement.

Colors of the Mole in Nature

  • Mole fur: velvety black, dark gray, or charcoal
  • Front paws and claws: pale pinkish-tan or light gray
  • Snout: soft pink or light flesh tone
  • Soil mound: rich brown or dark earthy black

What do moles eat underground?
