The terrors of the lawn look as though they are swimming as they tunnel, but they put a lot of force behind their shovel-like paws.

I caught one of these guys - a little one - when I was out fishing, and saw something black with silky fur in the grass, one of the cutest animals ever, period.

You could also use live traps or do your best to capture them alive and relocate to a forest of some sort. But if they're proving too elusive to catch then by all means, protect your garden.

@adrianowerneck6178 7 лет назад

For all metric lovers out there, a mole has a mass of about 88 grams. Multiply it by 10 to get its weight and the result is 0,88N. Now multiply it by 40 to get its strenght and the result is about 35N.

Does the dirt or mud, stick to the moles fur. They always seem to look very clean, for a animal that spends its life digging through dirt. I know this one is in a laboratory....but even when you see people catching them in the wild. They still look clean.

@renovatiovr 6 лет назад

@woofii4323 6 лет назад

If they ever did an anthropomorphic adaptation of a Zatoichi movie, that would be the mole since they have bad eyesights, but good sense of smell. Though sadly the character was already made into a bush pig (Usagi Yojimbo comics)

@joannedeherrera340 7 лет назад

I love these. I recently moved to a different state. I have these rolling and tilling my yard. They are finding me volcanic rock's, rocks from 2,O00,000 years ago, (When this area was nothing but active Volcanic activity, and 1,000,000 million years ago when this area was lake. I found one which had some sort of fossilised fish or scorpion tail not sure. I do not know if I'm getting lucky, or the earths magnetic field is bringing them up. Either way my husband and I decided, (Let the Mole Rats dig and dig ).

@joannedeherrera340 7 лет назад

We'll I'm on a large Alphalpha farm so I do not need the grass like when I lived in a city. We are using the worms for fishing, my husband went to buy some worms, over 3 Buck's per pack. The man told him if we had alot and we do that he will buy them. Found another old weat penny again and some more old silverware from who knows when. Over here these things are making money for me. Lol

@Kumahachi8 7 лет назад

You should post a picture of your fossil. I'm sure someone could tell you what it is.

@joannedeherrera340 7 лет назад

I hope you can see these. I spoke to a geologist, and he's the one who gave me this information. I hope someone can provide more. He wants them, and I'm not giving them away.

@Kumahachi8 7 лет назад

Sorry. They're not showing up (Google is coming up with a 400 error), at least for me, anyway, and they're not actually coming up in the comment chain. If you uploaded the image elsewhere and sent us a link to the image (eg. uploading them to Puush), it might be possible to see them, but maybe the geologist will know more when he sees them. It's a shame. I like looking at fossils, but my OCD won't let me touch them. ^_^'

@joannedeherrera340 7 лет назад

I'll try, let me see if I left them on twitter if not ill load them I had ocd bad, but I'm okay kind of now.
