Moles and hedgehogs are not closely related, but they do share some similarities as small, burrowing mammals. Moles belong to the family Talpidae, while hedgehogs are part of the Erinaceidae family. Both animals have adaptations for digging and a similar insectivorous diet, but their evolutionary paths diverged millions of years ago. Thus, while they may appear somewhat similar in behavior and habitat, they are distinct species with different biological classifications.
Moles and shrews, NOT porcupines!

No, common North American moles are not classed as marsupials. They belong to the order Eulipotyphla and are part of the family Talpidae. Marsupials, on the other hand, are characterized by their pouch and belong to the order Diprotodontia, which includes kangaroos and opossums. Moles are more closely related to shrews and hedgehogs than to marsupials.
