Moles are small (4 to 6 inches long) brown furred, extremely small eyed mammals that live beneath the surface of the soil in tunnels. They spend their time searching for earthworms and insect larvae. Moles are solitary animals, except for while the female is caring for her young. They use their powerful clawed front legs to dig their tunnels. You may not see this animal, but you might notice the ridges in the lawns that are the results of where they have been.
