  1. starnose mole

    A starnose mole is a small mole species, scientifically known as Condylura cristata, native to North America. Its most distinctive feature is the circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of its snout, giving it the name ‘starnose’. This feature is used as a touch organ with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors, known as Eimer’s organs, with which this mole feels its way around. It is almost completely blind and spends most of its life underground in wet, marshy soil hunting for small invertebrates, worms, and insects. The starnose mole is an excellent swimmer and is the only known mammal capable of smelling underwater.
