This creature has 22 little tentacles at the end of its nose that look like a star, hence the name, star-nosed mole. Covered in thick, black fur, their bodies are cylindrical and they have large, paddle-like hands for digging. But wait till you hear about their super cool living habits and what's on their menu!  \nRemember the big hands I told you about? They help the mole live its life underground in wet, marshy areas in North America. These moles are super good at swimming, and can even find food underwater! Speaking of food, these creatures love to munch on small invertebrates, worms, and even small fish. You won't believe how quickly they can eat, it's almost like watching a magic trick!  \nSpeaking of magic tricks, let's delve into the life cycle of these fascinating creatures. After agestation period of about 45 days, the female star-nosed mole gives birth to a litter of 2 to 7 baby moles. These baby moles grow up fast and are ready to leave the nest within a month. Despite their somewhat scary look, star-nosed moles are harmless to humans and play an important role in the ecosystem.  \nStar-nosed moles are quite different from other moles, and not just because of their funky noses!. Unlike other moles, they are super quick, and their star-nose helps them to find and eat food faster than the blink of an eye. Their noses are also super sensitive, and they use them to 'see'their surroundings.
