Moles can dig up to 18 feet of surface tunnels per hour?
Moles can travel through their tunnels at speeds of 80' per minute through existing tunnels? It'd take a mighty good radar detector to give him a ticket.
A large collection of mole burrows is called a citadel? Isn't that charming?
A mole travels through its citadel of tunnels using a movement similar to the breaststroke.
Moles eat 70 to 80 percent of their weight every day.
Moles can be dangerous? They have apparently caused at least one famous death, that of King William III (William of Orange). Granted, I found this information online, but seemingly reputable sources say that the unfortunate William died after being thrown from his horse, which had stumbled over...you guessed it...a mole hill.
The star nose mole is perhaps one of the strangest animals I've ever seen...brace yourself...
