Granted, these are one of the ugliest animals on the planet but they're still pretty cool nonetheless! They have one of the most bizarre noses known to man. They're snouts are lined with more than 25,000 sensory receptors to help the mole feel its way through its underground lair. Like other moles, they have an underground network of tunnels around North America where they're most often found. They pretty much spend their lives living in complete darkness, they're bodies have adapted to be completely blind - purely because it doesn't need good sight! Because they are completely blind, they rely on their star shaped nose, mainly to decided whether something is edible in a split second. It's nose is so powerful it can also sniff out food underwater.
The Star Nosed Mole is awesome.
