That really was a risky trip for the mole, but that spring mating drive must be strong! I have found a shrew in the stomach of a trout, and that mole could have ended up the same way. That was cool to see that mole dig into the soil at the end. Good luck to all the moles!
that is very interesting, and impressive! is that normal behavior for a mole to travel above ground like that? what is the difference between a mole and a vole and is it true that if a dog eats one it can kill it? another words are they poisonous/toxic?
Moles will travel aboveground during the mating season. When seeking a mate, they come out on the surface and try to locate the tunnel of another mole, in search of a mate. Voles are small rodents, who also make tunnels. Theirs are in grasses normally. They are not toxic as far as I know. I've been told by several biologists that they apparently taste bad, which is why some predators will discard them after killing them.
