一种擅长挖地洞的小型哺乳动物。长着形似铁锹的巨大前爪与锋利的指甲。尽管视力不佳，但触觉和嗅觉极为发达，方便寻路和觅食。鼹鼠挖掘的洞穴能为土壤提供气孔，调节昆虫数量，在生态系统中扮演着重要的角色。
Moles are small, burrowing mammals with specialized digging adaptations, such as large, paddle-like forelimbs and powerful claws. Moles have poor eyesight but rely on a keen sense of touch and smell to navigate and find prey. Their tunneling aerates soil and controls insect populations, making them key ecosystem engineers.
