Humans have impacted the environment of the star-nosed mole primarily through habitat destruction and alteration. Urban development, agriculture, and drainage of wetlands have reduced the availability of moist, lowland habitats essential for the mole's survival. Additionally, pollution and climate change can disrupt the ecosystems these moles rely on, affecting their food sources and overall habitat quality. Conservation efforts are critical to mitigate these impacts and preserve their natural environments.
no
The average weight of a star nosed mole is 50 g (1.8 oz)
No, naked mole rats do not hibernate. They are able to maintain a constant body temperature without needing to hibernate, which is unusual for mammals. Naked mole rats are adapted to living in a stable underground environment where they can find food year-round.
They find their food by smelling and touching
Yes, moles have a highly developed sense of touch due to specialized touch receptors in their skin called Eimer's organs. These receptors help them navigate underground tunnels and locate prey by sensing vibrations and textures in the soil.
when were star nosed moles discovered
The star nosed mole reproduces by mating. It has 2-7 babies every year.
The star nosed mole is a mammal and thus a vertebrate.
