Talpa europea

Talpa europea, commonly known as the European mole, is a small, burrowing mammal found throughout Europe. It has a cylindrical body covered in velvety fur, tiny eyes, and powerful front claws for digging. Adapted to underground life, it spends most of its time tunneling in soil, feeding on insects, earthworms, and other small invertebrates. Its streamlined shape and specialized limbs make it an efficient digger. The species plays a vital role in soil aeration and ecosystem health. While generally not a threat, it is appreciated for its unique adaptations and contribution to natural environments.
