A close relative of a mole is the shrew. Both moles and shrews belong to the order Eulipotyphla, which also includes hedgehogs. While moles are primarily adapted for a burrowing lifestyle with their specialized forelimbs and velvety fur, shrews are small, insectivorous mammals with elongated snouts and high metabolic rates. Despite their similarities, shrews are more agile and have a different ecological role compared to moles.
