Also, too, holey moley!
You know how I often like to write up little blurbs on the friends we introduce through the hed gifs, but this time around, I’m copying the text from this original poster, who does a great job on a bit of appreciation for our little garden chums, sometimes destructive, but important and overall beneficial to our ecosystem.
Moles may be elusive creatures, but they play a remarkable role in the ecosystems beneath our feet! With their velvety fur, tiny eyes, and large, paddle-like paws, moles are perfectly adapted for a life spent tunneling underground.
These small but mighty diggers can tunnel up to 18 feet per hour, creating intricate networks of burrows as they search for their favorite foods: earthworms, insects and grubs. Though they’re often mistaken for garden pests, moles actually help aerate the soil, improve drainage, and reduce pest populations, making them a surprisingly beneficial presence in many environments.
Even though you may never see a mole in action their telltale molehills serve as a reminder of the hidden, complex world beneath the surface—one that’s vital for healthy soil and thriving plant life. So next time you notice a little hill of dirt in your yard, consider it a sign of nature’s underground gardeners hard at work!

18 feet per hour?!? Damn, aren't there speed limits underground? Thanks, Martini
