•Anatomically, the golden-mole is highly specialised for life underground; strong forelimbs equipped with powerful pick-like claws and a leathery hardenend nose pad are used to push through sandy soil whilst burrowing underground.
•Their primary sense is that of touch , and they are particularly sensitive to vibrations that may indicate approaching danger.
•Their eyes are non-functional and covered with skin and fur, the ears are just tiny openings, and, like the marsupial moles, they have an enlarged leather-like pad to protect their nostrils.
•They have muscular shoulders and an enlarged third claw on the forelimbs to aid digging (for its burrow).
•The hind feet are webbed, for shovelling soil backwards.
