A mole's diet primarily consists of earthworms and other small invertebrates found in the soil. The mole may also occasionally catch small mice at the entrance to its burrow. Because their saliva contains a toxin that can paralyze earthworms, moles are able to store their still living prey for later consumption.
Mole
Moles are the majority of the members of the mammal family Talpidae in the order Soricomorpha. Although moles burrow, some species are semi-aquatic. Moles have cylindrical bodies (about 15 cm long, plus 32 mm tail; weight about 120g) covered in fur, with small or covered eyes; the ears are generally not visible. They eat small invertebrates living underground. Moles can be found almost anywhere in North America, Asia, and Europe, although there are no moles in Ireland. In some parts of the world, there are local burrowing animals that resemble moles: principally the golden mole of Southern Africa and the marsupial mole of Western Australia.
