Mole unique predator

Before mankind learned to practice farming under fields and forests, a mole lived with impunity. It is much later people decided that he is a pest and began to fight with this mysterious animal, and all on the fact that the mole in pursuit of their victims break through a huge number of holes and tunnels seriously damaging the root system of plants. The mole is a unique predator, it not only hunts mice, worms, beetles, snails, frogs, but also stores food. In their stores, these natural maniacs contain living, but crippled victims and when the most hungry moment comes, the animal simply finishes its prey. At the same time they are very domestic animals, they start to prepare for the winter in advance, they dig long passages, sometimes up to 200 meters, in the center they make a burrow-bedroom and numerous storerooms with reserves. But in severe winter, if the reserves come to an end, they easily go to looting. By the way, they do not hibernate, but simply slow down their activity. The

They eat only the reserves collected in the summer.

And another interesting fact, the mole is not blind, their eyes are simply covered with film, so that the land does not fall into contact. His eyesight is very weak, his sense of smell is great, and this is despite the fact that he is constantly tearing the ground in search of his favorite worms.

His paws are very powerful, in one minute the torus is able to dig a tunnel of 30 cm, and in an hour the passage will be deepened by a meter. Just as well as the ears are well developed and the ears as well as the eyes are protected. Moles have a unique sense of native mink, if you take it to a decent distance, the animal will still return to his home.

In Soviet times, the skins of moles began to be highly valued for their unique fur, because unlike all other types of wool grows not in one direction, but straight away, it pushes away the dirt and the animal can easily move both straight and backward.

If we take into account that the animal is small, one fur coat took about 200 skins. But nowadays, the fur of these animals is not so popular and therefore, except for the malignant gardeners, no one threatens the mole of the people.
