The Common Mole
The species of mole that is most common in Europe is known as the Talpa europaea. This type of mole lives on a diet of worms and other types of insects and lives underground, often digging long tunnels from its main hole to the surface of the ground. Moles are constantly enlarging their underground homes, resulting in the earth to be piled up on the surface.
