Hello everyone, hope you all had a good Easter, here we are at Tuesday so that means it is creature day and this week we have the Star-Nose Mole.
So, this mole looks like a cross between a rat and an octopus with a unique snout which it uses to find food. It has 22 tentacles which together have a diameter of just 1cm they ring the nostrils and work as a tactile eye, feeling for food.
They work so quick that they earned the mole the award for fastest eating mammal. They take only one-tenth of a second to identify and consume a piece of food.
Because of its nose it can smell underwater, it blows bubbles that mix with the scent of a small fish or earthworm, it then sucks them back in and its mealtime.
With its large, scaled feet and long, thick tail it fits comfortably on an adult hand, well maybe not my hand I have small hands.
It lives in the wetlands of eastern Canada and the northeastern part of the United States.

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Those feet look like great digging tools!
Its snout is very unique—never heard of it though.
Hugs,

No never seen or heard of it but it is unique
Absolutely!
Has a definite SciFi/Horror film look about it. Perhaps, like something that would appear on Dr Who or something created by Stephen King or James Herbert.
That’s for damn sure
