Monsters wie in Science Fiction Films! # 9

   You might have heard of moles, that are mamals belonging to the family Tapidae. They are small invertebrates with cylindrical, furry bodies. These mamals live underground, but some mole species are found to be semiaquatic. One such mole species is condylura cristata, which is commonly known as star-nosed mole. The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) has a large habitable range that is found in eastern Canada, and the northeastern upper half of the United States. Their nose is the most unique thing. This specialized nose is unlike any other found on any mammal, and has been especially adapted to finding food in the ground. Their nose is covered in small, extremely sensitive tentacles that have touch receptors.
