Formosan moles
They are found only in Taiwan. They are with a body length of 10-13cm, and a tail of 1-2cm. They are dark grey in color with brownish cheek and breast. They have little eyes, strong forelimbs and powerful paws
that make them good diggers. They live in caves and have a diet of worms. They reside on the soft soil areas, therefore, they are mostly found in the farming areas. Since they are excellent diggers, you can find them by looking for bulging earth that they dug.
