Found dead in my yard--I had not realized there were any moles in the area, as the heavy clay soil is not the best for tunneling, and I've never seen mole hills in my yard. (My immediate area lacks most widespread burrowing mammals: chipmunks, woodchucks, skunks.) This individual was killed by a dog, unfortunately. The upturned foot reminded me of a human palm.
Mole (Talpa europaea) is widespread and numerous in Belarus, but most of all people see their holes, not the mole itself. Its because the major part of moles life is hidden in the soil. There is a strange belief that its possible to see a mole only one time in the whole life has some spread in Belarus. If that were true, I must was be reincarnated not less than 5 times ;)
