Moles (animal)

Voles are a real problem in a lot of areas of the country. They are very damaging to lawns, shrubs and trees. A dozen pairs of voles in an acre of land can have hundreds of babies and their populations can quickly get out of control if something isn't done about them. They tunnel just under the snow in winter, leaving a maze of trails through your lawn in spring. They chew through the tender outer bark of shrubs and trees, girdling and killing them.

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.

noones gonna stop u so sure go ahead but dont blame me when the whole of ur house is cuverd in mole crap I don't know...but you should probably ask an employee who works at a pet store.

Small predators, such as stoats and weasels, often live in holes stolen from their prey, and even pine martens have been recorded living in badger setts.

yes almost all moles have teeth.

A mole can run at 20mph forwards or backwards

There are always problems with this type of question, particularly in a quiz.

There are numerous home names for various animals. However, a mole lives in a fortress, a burrow, or a tunnel. Yes, another name for a hole!

Mole babies are called pups.

In order to get rid of moles on the body, you can go to the doctor to either surgically remove them or freeze them off (don't try at home).

There are many types of moles and there are some that are not permanent.

The best way (if that mole is not permanent) is to let it go away by itself.

we have had a mole in our house....we thought is was a mouse but was not how did it get in our house? When he does not jump

do people live in GRASSLANDS.. and how many

Sulfur sticks. You can find them at your local hardware store in packages of 4 to 6 sticks in the pest control section of the store or you can order them online. The important thing here is using them properly to achieve the desired goal which is dead moles and this is how you do it:

In dry weather when moles are active, go out in the evening and knock down all the mounds. Go back in the morning and you'll find the fresh mounds. This is where the moles are working. Scrape off the top of the mound and feel around with your fingers until you find the tunnel. Gently scoop the dirt out of it until you have clear access to the tunnel. Light the sulfur stick and shove it as far down the tunnel as you can and then very carefully (so as to not extinguish the sulfur stick) plug the hole tightly with dirt.

Immediately move to the next mound and repeat. If you like after a couple of hours you can go back and re-open the holes to dig out any unburned part of the sulfur sticks and properly dispose of them.

You won't get the satisfaction of actually seeing the little dead mole body with this method like you would with a trap but you will do something that you can't do with traps and that is to actually kill all of your moles. This gas warfare method is so much more effective than traps it isn't even a contest but you'll hear people rail against it and I'm convinced the don't like it simply because they never get to see the dead mole. Personally I don't want to see them, I just want them gone.

Lastly I would suggest that you volunteer to perform this service for your neighbors because if you don't his moles will soon move into your newly vacated mole free lawn.

In a mole system, there is a large (bed) chamber, and smaller storage chambers, and a maze of tunnels with excess soil pushed upwards as mole hills. Any earth worm than drops into a tunnel will find it difficult to get out through the smooth walls of the tunnel. The mole, very sensitive to vibrations, will home in on the struggling worm. The worm is either eaten there and then, or the head is nibbled off and the worm in placed in one of the storage chambers for later eating. Without a head, the worm is unable to escape and must away its fate.

Moles have 2-5 babies and they are born hairless after 5 weeks the baby mole leaves his mother to start a new life

Yes, shrews do eat plants occasionally, but not all the time they mostly eat Invertabrates, however, they can also eat vertebrates like snakes, salamanders, and mice.

eagles

,rats water predetors and pumas

a colorful fish,an insect of some sort(stick insects can make good pets) or maybe some sea monkeys? i know i loved sea monkeys when i was little, so did my brothers. i would advise you not give a small mammal to a 5 year old, i grew up with cats,dogs,mice and snakes and learned many lessons the hard way. including when my old cat peter taught me how to hold him correctly, my mum had to remove his claws from my neck AFTER i ran all the way downstairs with him dangling there... a fish or sea monkeys are alot less... painful :)

Naked mole rats predators are snakes manly.
