The Star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) belongs to the class Mammalia, order Eulipotyphla, and family Talpidae. This unique mammal is characterized by its distinctive star-shaped nose, which is covered in sensitive tactile organs that help it navigate and hunt for prey in its moist, subterranean habitat. Found primarily in the northeastern United States and Canada, it is well-adapted to a life spent in wetlands and soft, pliable soil.

The star-nosed mole uses its unique, star-shaped nose primarily for sensing its environment and locating food. The 22 fleshy, tentacle-like appendages are covered with sensitive touch receptors, allowing it to detect prey such as insects and small invertebrates in dark, muddy conditions. This adaptation is crucial for its survival, as the mole often hunts in underground tunnels and waterlogged areas where visibility is limited.
