Genuinely impressed with how quickly that little guy dug a hole for himself. I mean, I always assumed they are quick diggers, but actually seeing them tear into the soil and just vanishing within a minute is still pretty amazing.
Go for it, they are very soft. I unfortunately know because our cats were hunters (we live in the middle of the sticks, no bears here in the UK) and one time they caught a mole and just left it in the grass by our drive. Thought it was still alive at the time 'cause half the time the prey are and I could put them in a secret tunnel for them to recover in, hence my touching it. I don't assume moles have teeth unlike mice/shrews/squirrels/bats, just the hefty claws XD They do have a cute little tail though.
Don’t try,they have teeth and will bite.I came across a mole above ground when I was a tiny child.I picked it up and got bitten,with blood.Of course I dropped it,and it drilled into the ground and disappeared in about five seconds flat.Damp earth with no stones.😩
They are super fast. Once my cat caught one, when I picked it up it appeared to still be alive, I put it on the ground and it was gone underground within 20 seconds (ground was a little less hard then it appears to be here, and it clearly was in a rush to escape) absolutely amazing. A lean mean drilling machine.
It's a good thing the mole is around that area to dig that soil. He'll dig through it and loosen it up, so the vegetation can actually grow their roots through it to live.
I'm a mole, too, and I know the mole in this video. His name is Pete. He's a good digger, which is the highest compliment one mole can give another. Digging is kind of our main thing.
Hi Buno, Pete here, this really generous of you & means a lot from someone so well respected in the world of burrows & burrowing😎 PS can I please have my lawn mower back for the weekend, my yard is getting to be a bit out of hand.👍
Hi, I'm Drew the Shrew, on the second burrow to the left, would like to invite you over for an earthworm dinner... wouldn't have a home in this neighbourhood if it wasn't for you guys❤
Just got to admire those little creatures. Good luck buddy despite you ruining my lawn last year. Just didn’t have the heart to trap my mole, I could easily have done so but I have too much respect for such a specialised animal.
Definitely not a good place to release a mole. They like the same soil conditions favored by their earthworm prey; plenty of humus, easily burrowed in, and few or no rocks. Like their shrew cousins, moles eat enormous amounts of food to sustain their fast metabolism and high rates of activity, and thus starve quickly if there aren't enough worms and grubs around.
@@za-zasolutionscorp.8366 The uploader, "Alone Mole", posted elsewhere in reply to my inquiry that this Mole was being evicted. Most species of moles depend on earthworms and sod dwelling grubs as a food source (they eat small amounts of plant material as well), and like their shrew cousins, their very fast metabolism and strenuous mode of existence require that they eat huge amounts of food relative to their size. Earthworms shun rocky/gravelly soils, and these make digging much more difficult for the moles that prey on them. Most moles favor loamy soils in open grassy habitats, as these harbor abundant food and are easy to burrow in. Keep in mind that moles must dig to find most of their food, unlike voles, which forage mostly on the surface outside their burrow. Some moles, such as Africa's Golden Mole, have adapted to sand dunes, and prey on reptiles, other mammals, insects, etc., which they detect by sound and ambush by digging upwards below their victims.
@@motherlandbot6837 you have a good knowledge about moles :) my opinion he came out of dirt to find food and the day he took video was march and in these days still there is not much grasd. I am assuming they hibernate and once dirt get warm they wake up with a big amount of hunger. Since there is no strong root or grass they might come out quick for food. Is this possible? They have very soft and warm fur they cant be out if it is too hot. They have no eyes .
@@za-zasolutionscorp.8366 As far as biologists know, no species of mole hibernates. They burrow and feed year round, but during hot summers and cold winters, both moles and the earthworms they eat retreat deeper below the surface of the soil. All moles that have been studied have eyes, with functional retinas in their eyes, though their optic nerves are poorly developed. Even the Iberian Mole, which has tiny eyes covered by skin, can distinguish between light and darkness. Although moles rarely leave their underground burrows voluntarily, they can distinguish seasonal changes in daylength underground with their tiny eyes, and use this ability to adjust their "biological clock". Most cannot see clear images at all, but all species of moles studied so far can preceive slight differences between light and darkness underground. I'll post a link to an article on this below, hopefully TH-cam won't delete it.
It's why they look like they're in such a panic to get the hole dug, and why they do it so quickly. They would normally have a pre-dug hole to run into. Edit: auto-correct typo

When I was a kid, my dad killed one of them with several shovel hits when it entered our house, because it dug our garden up. I still feel so sorry for that poor thing...
I remember when I was a kid and visited my rural grandparents in hollydays. One day my grandpa came up with a mole he had dugged out in his garden. We searched for a worm, fed it to the mole and afterwards released it outside of the village. I never had expected mole fur being so fluffy.
What a sweet little soul! Thank you for aerating our gardens, Mr. Mole! ^^ Bless this and all moles and animals everywhere and keep them safe from human harm.
A lovely video, thank you. We share our plot with some moles, they dig for worms in my veg beds and polytunnel where I regularly water - especially when we’ve not had much rain. I sometimes see the ground heaving as they burrow shallow but I’ve never actually seen any of them up close so it was lovely to see your mole 😊👍
Yeah, I'm not a fan. The destruction they leave outweighs any bug eating they do. The stuff they catch is mostly worms too. So they're taking out actual beneficial life in the soil. The temptation to cleave it with a shovel is overwhelming.
Thanks for posting! Moles are fascinating. If you ever get the chance when camping, pitch your tent over the runs. They make squeeking sounds as they travel their tunnels. We found their vocals to be quite loud and very funny especially when two met head-to-head (we assume) and there was an 'argument'! Hugely entertaining.
This is like a time lapse of my life.. I ve been paying of debt for over 25 years, for a house... Watching this little guy get a home in couple of minutes pretty much summed up my life.
I had a mole in my yard and he left hideous ruts. They only live about 1 or 2 years so I just let him be to live his best life. My yard looks fine now.
Watched a hamster doing similar moves in his substrate but had the fortune of watching it next to the glass. The front to back scooping shovel is skilled. But moles are the purpose built specialist. Held one before. Recusing from cat attack. They are A) super super soft B) solid pure muscle end to end.
Apart from such an urge, they must already be roughly as intelligent as the ape Homo sapiens (= man). I've once watched a mouse for several hours which I caught alive, so I know what I'm talking about. You could certainly teach them dozens of words. Not via pictographs, given how poorly they see, but if you presented as words complexes of tactile or olfactory input.
This animal will have had slower specimens among its ancestors, but given the existence of bigger animals of prey, they'll have been eaten so realiably that only the quickest moles will have remained until the present. Although it's actually a form of devolution - a loss in variety! -, one generally calls the process "evolution", with Darwin ...
Like the disused top end of a gravel driveway near yea old abandoned shed - very unpromising gravel tainted earth, but our intrepid mole friend makes the most of it. His back and back end were out vulnerable too long for my liking and now I must keep my eyes peeled for places were the ground appears to be breathing so I don't inadvertently collapse mole, vole and chipmunk (no doubt others as well) dennings and subterranean pathways.
Amazing and very interesting video🎥... Super like... First time I have seen them dig a hole🕳.. They are strong.. And fast Do keep posting Warm regards and best wishes The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
I saved one few months ago, first time I've seen a mole. Was riding a motorcycle and seen some rodent trying to cross a road. Stopped, moved closer seen it's something else, picked it up before the car got him(tried to bite me, lucky I had motorcycle gloves). I released him on the other side of the road. The custruction seem to scare him(quarry like) to a point he digged his way up.
It's an interesting question why moles avoid heavy clay. They do so because their skulls are fragile, so they'll hurt when the animals get into harder ground. But why haven't moles who could cross also clay with tunnels evolved? Couldn't it be an advantage to be able to hide in greater depths? Perhaps the reason is that moles with such a capacity have destroyed forests too often, with the result of extinction.
Well caught on camera.... mole hills = easy peasy, moles caught by cats.. no problem - BUT to catch one digging a hole EXCELLENT work - did it make your local tv news endpiece - sure it would on BBC Points West! Congratulations🤗😀
A very scared mole trying to retreat back into the safety of the soil as quickly as possible. Unlike gophers, which occasionally venture to the surface, moles almost never expose themselves to danger above ground. Was this a catch, evict, and release mole?

For some reason I have spent my whole life thinking moles were the size of like, cats, or at least gophers.
When I was a kid, it was told the sun would kill it! I was sceptical about that though.
With their black furs, they'll indeed heat up in the sun quickly. Black absorbs nearly all of the visible wavelengths of light.
