Content: Some species have specialized diet requirements. In the case of some amphibious moles, they will also eat fish and amphibians. The mole has a special toxin in its saliva that immobilizes prey so it can store and consume the meat at a later time. The creature can consume its entire body weight in food every single day to support its energy-intensive digging habits. Mole Predators and Threats
The small and defenseless moles are often preyed upon by foxes, coyotes, weasels, snakes, hawks, and owls. Because the moles are so vulnerable above ground, the burrow provides a natural defense against most predators. However, this may not save the mole from predators with a very good ability for digging. Habitat loss isn’t too much of a problem for this group. Because moles prefer agriculture and gardens, they have adapted very well to human habitats. However, this also singles them out as annoying pests that can disrupt or ruin crops, even as they sometimes consume other insects and pests as well.
