Mediterranean mole is a small mammal found in the Mediterranean region and has a long, cylindrical body and short legs with powerful claws that help it to dig through soil and sand. Its fur is usually dark brown or black, with lighter patches on its head and back. The Mediterranean mole feeds mainly on earthworms, insects, snails, and other small invertebrates. It lives in underground burrows that it digs itself using its powerful claws, and is an active animal during the night but spends most of its time underground during the day. The Mediterranean mole plays an important role in maintaining healthy soils by aerating them as it digs through them to find food. It also helps control insect populations by eating them as part of its diet.
