Things To Know About a Mole's Biology, Diet, Life Cycle
Content: Moles do not hibernate, but are active all through the year. Diet
Moles are mostly insectivorous in nature. They typically feed on ants, worms, centipedes, slugs, insects and other organisms found in the soil like snails. The only species that eats small fishes and crustaceans is the star nosed mole, which lives inside ponds and near streams. Large moles are also known for eating mice sometimes. Moles use their snout - a protruded portion of the head region that contains nose and mouth, to find food and retrieve it from under the ground. They use a poison found in their saliva to paralyze the insect before storing it in their underground homes. Moles have a great appetite and eat at regular intervals all through the day. They are believed to eat between 70 to 100% of their body weight each day and eat a total of over 50 pounds of worms each year. Life cycle
The mating season of moles is from February to April each year.
