Content: 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. When this happens, they risk falling victim to birds of prey flying overhead. Many raptor species, including vultures, hawks and eagles, live in the same areas as moles. The red-tailed hawk is one of the most common raptors in North America and can frequently be seen in the skies hunting for the small mammals that constitute the bulk of its diet. Moles that surface at night risk being killed and eaten by owls. 00:00
