Blind Mole

A blind mole is a small, subterranean mammal that spends most of its life underground, primarily using its keen sense of smell to navigate and find food. It lacks functional eyes, hence "blind," and has powerful front limbs with large claws to burrow through soil. Its diet mainly consists of earthworms and insects. Adapted to a subterranean lifestyle, it has a cylindrical body and minimal external features. Despite its limited vision, it is well-equipped for underground life, playing a vital role in soil aeration and ecosystem health.
