| Talpa europaea Linnaeus, 1758 |
The European Mole, Talpa europaea, is a mammal of the order Insectivora.
It lives in an underground tunnel system, which it constantly extends. It uses these tunnels to hunt its prey. Under normal conditions the displaced earth is pushed to the surface, resulting in the characteristic "mole hills".
