Coloring Mole
The mole has very small eyes, but he can see with it, you know?! So he is not blind, what many people think. But he doesn't actually use his eyes, because he's always in the dark under the ground. He does everything on the touch, he feels vibrations with his whiskers and his nose. The mole lives underground, so it is safe for birds of prey, or other animals, for example. cats.
The mole has a striking pointed head and an almost roll round short body. The head gradually passes into the trunk, a waist he does not have. His coat is beautiful blue-black and looks a bit like velvet. The hairs are very close to each other, so that no sand or water gets on his skin. Handy hear! On his stomach he has yellow stripes, some moles have yellow stripes on his throat. The trunk of his snout, the tip of his tail and his foot soles are flesh-colored. The front short and sturdy legs are spice-shaped and has long, powerful nails. A mole becomes about 12 - 17cm long, its tail is about 2-4cm. The males are heavier and larger than females.
He spends most of his life underground. He does not like company, so he is usually in loneliness. Pretty pathetic, right?? He can climb and jump, but he rarely does. And did you know he's very good at swimming ?
Which is also surprising: Moles love no hibernation . In cold weather, they just dig their corridors deeper underground. They love earthworms, emelts and creepies (underground larvae that eat grass). Brrr! If he has too much food, he lays out storage sheds, often at the end of a corridor. Of course, that's very clever.
