How has a mole adapted to its habitat?

Answer 1

SILKY FUR - Lies flat when brushed in either direction to allow easy movement through their tunnels.

SENSITIVE TAIL - To give them a sense of direction when moving backwards.

MEMBRANE OVER EYES - Eyes are not needed in the dark, to prevent dirt entering their eyes.

FAST METABOLISM - They are very active and it means that they have to eat a lot, but I'm not actually sure how this one helps it.

TOXINS IN SALIVA - Allows them to eat their prey alive. The toxins kill the worms which make up a large percentage of their diet.

LARGE PAWS - Palms face up for digging.

Answer 3

It has long, strong claws on its front paws for digging through the soil, and spade-like rear paws to scoop the soil out of the way. Their legs bend away from their bodies so they can scoop the soil behind them. They have a thin layer of skin over their eyes to protect them from soil, and eyelids which deflect the soil. Their nostrils open to the side so they don't get clogged, and they have no external ears for the same reason. They also have specialised blood cells which let them withstand high levels of carbon dioxide.
