Moles feed on insects, larvae, small mammals and even frogs. They are practically blind and are able to locate prey thanks to their well-developed hearing and vibration-sensitive sensory hairs on their face and tail. The underground tunnels of these small mammals are actually carefully thought-out labyrinths. They have nests lined with moss and places to store food. The length of one corridor system can reach up to 1 kilometre. Moles are solitary and do not live in packs and are active especially in the morning and that’s when they form the most mounds.
