Content: Badgers and weasels share similar habitats and geographic distribution with moles, and small mammals make up much of their diet. Mephitidae
The Mephitidae family consists of skunk and stink badger species previously considered mustelids, until biologists studied the animals further and concluded based on molecular evidence that they should be classified as a separate family. Several skunk species live in the same North American habitats as moles and frequently prey upon them. Although skunks are omnivorous, animals make up the majority of their diet. These nocturnal creatures spend their days in dug-out dens and their nights foraging and rooting through the soil to find food. Canidae
Canids, including coyotes, foxes and domestic dogs, dig moles out of the ground and eat them. Although canids are more omnivorous than many species of carnivores, animals still make up the majority of their diet, particularly small mammals. Dogs and foxes are adept diggers with keen senses of smell that can detect a mole beneath the ground. Once they’ve found the mole, they bite the back of its neck and shake it, killing it by breaking its neck. Birds of Prey
Although moles spend most of their lives in their underground tunnels, they do occasionally come to the surface – often by accident.
