Seen by few and hated by most!
The Mole is an underground original. Yes, they have messed up some of my yards and gardens over the years too, but they are some strange and cool looking individuals.
In this video, I mention a few of the lesser-known characteristics of the mole, like their ability to breathe in low-oxygen environments and their toxic saliva.
These guys are some solid little creatures, almost like a miniature soda can. Whether you actually like these creatures or not, you should at least be able to enjoy the video. Also, it is probably not a good idea to pick them up, even though I have...
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Funny story. When I was 12 I found 13 baby moles behind our garage under some planks. Not knowing what they were, I scooped them up, put in a cardboard box and fed them with an eye dropper. My dad kept telling me to get them out of the house. As they got bigger, unbeknownst to me, while I was school they escaped. 13 moles loose in the house. Never could find them. To a kid they are cute, to an adult, ugly little annoyances we try to defeat. Safe to say I won't be mother to moles ever again, lol

So here's the question I keep asking myself when I watch your videos, and I'm sure you've gotten this from other people: How do you catch these critters? Almost every animal you've posted I've caught at some point or another, but maybe only once or twice over the course of years. Yet you manage to nab one every week. Do you plan to make a video about a certain animal and go trap it, or do you set traps and make a video about whatever you catch?

it is mostly whatever I cross paths with. I get a lot of turtles and snakes frequently, so I try to make videos early and then fill in some others in between.
