De Winton's Golden Mole is a critically endangered mammal that lives in South Africa.

As with so many endangered species, habitat loss has proven to be the biggest problem for this creature. There has been degradation of the De Winton's Golden mole's habitat, partially due to extraction mining activities. Also, the habitat loss for other species of moles, and other creatures that feed on worms, insects and insect larvae may drive them more into the De Winton's Golden mole's territory, providing competition for its food.

Scientists and conservationists have struggled to research this elusive creature to determine its needs and how best to protect it, because its distribution (where it is found) is sparse and restricted to a narrow range of habitats.

Why is the mole cricket endangered?

Only the Northern Marsupial Mole is endangered. This was not true until it was separated from the Southern Marsupial Mole as a separate species a few years ago. (Analogy: If there were one million members of a species, then it would not be endangered. But if scientists decided to divide the species into ten thousand different species based on small differences, then each new species would have only one hundred members and would be considered seriously endangered.)
