About Eastern Mole
The eastern mole or common mole is a medium-sized, overall grey North American mole and the only member of the genus Scalopus. Its large, hairless, spade-shaped forefeet are adapted for digging. The species is native to Canada, Mexico, and the eastern United States, and has the widest range of any North American mole.
