MOLE - A Common Creature Bares Its Teeth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intriguing moment of a common mole (Talpa europaea) revealing its teeth. Moles, often overlooked and misunderstood, are fascinating creatures that have inhabited the earth for centuries. With their cylindrical bodies and lack of external eyes, they may seem mysterious and even frightening to some. However, this image offers a rare glimpse into their world, showcasing their unique features and expressiveness. The mole's teeth, which are not typically seen, play a crucial role in their underground existence. Equipped with sharp incisors and powerful jaw muscles, they are skilled excavators, constantly digging tunnels and hunting for food. Their elongated snout, filled with sensitive whiskers, allows them to navigate their subterranean environment with ease. The historical significance of moles dates back to ancient times, with various cultures attributing various meanings to their presence. In some European folklore, moles were believed to be shape-shifters or even the embodiment of the devil. Conversely, in Chinese mythology, they were revered as symbols of good luck and prosperity. This photograph, taken from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a reminder of the rich history and intrigue surrounding these common yet captivating creatures. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature, even in its smallest and seemingly ordinary forms. Whether you're an avid naturalist, a history buff, or simply someone with a curiosity for the world around us, this image is sure to spark your imagination and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the common mole.
