Star-nosed moles move primarily through a combination of digging and swimming. They are well-adapted for life in moist environments, using their powerful forelimbs to burrow underground and create extensive tunnel systems. Their unique star-shaped snouts help them navigate and forage for food in dark, muddy environments. Additionally, they can swim efficiently, using their webbed feet to propel themselves through water when necessary.

Although the star-nosed moles are blind, they do have eyes. They find their way around, and find their prey, by using the "feeler" on the end of their noses that are shaped like a many pointed star.
Star-nosed moles have 22 tentacles on their nose, which are highly sensitive and allow them to explore their environment effectively. These tentacles are covered in specialized touch receptors called Eimer's organs, enabling the moles to detect and identify prey in the dark, moist soil where they live. This adaptation makes them one of the most efficient foragers among mammals, helping them locate food quickly in their subterranean habitats.
