Moles are a
family (
Talpidae) of
mammals in the order
Insectivora that live under ground, burrowing holes. They feed on small
invertebrate animals living under ground.
Moles are particularly disliked by gardeners and grounds-keepers whose lawns they ruin.
There are also similar-looking but herbivorous
rodents called
mole-rats that enjoy a similar life-style and are commonly called "moles".
A group of moles is called a labour.
Many types of earth-burrowing machines take their names from moles.
