Talpa caeca

Talpa caeca, commonly known as the European blind mole, is a small subterranean mammal adapted for underground life. It has a cylindrical body, tiny eyes that are often covered by skin, and powerful forelimbs with large claws for digging. Its highly sensitive snout helps it navigate and find food like earthworms and insect larvae in complete darkness. Talpa caeca has a specialized geology and climate that suit its hidden lifestyle, and it spends most of its life underground, rarely surfacing. Its unique adaptations make it an efficient burrower, well-suited for a subterranean existence.
