Moles

Moles include dozens of species of small, burrowing animals found all over the world. Known for their tunneling prowess, moles are pint-size predators that create elaborate networks of tunnels and pathways through leaf litter, vegetation, and soil.

Consistent with a life spent underground, mole eyes are tiny and lack external ears, which could fill up with dirt. Mole bodies tend to be cylindrical, with powerful shoulders and broad, shovel-like hands, all of which helps them ply through the substrate as if it were water.

Opossum

Most opossums are around the size of a housecat. These marsupials have an elongated snout, and a large sagittal crest – a bone making their forehead look taller. They have scaly feet, and a scaly prehensile tail. A prehensile tail can be wrapped around branches to stabilize the animal while climbing.

Ground hog

The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as the woodchuck, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. A lowland creature of North America, it is found through much of the Eastern United States, across Canada and into Alaska.

Raccoon

Raccoon are any of seven species of nocturnal mammals characterized by bushy ringed tails. Raccoons adapt extremely well to human presence, even in towns and cities, where they den in buildings and thrive on a diet of garbage, pet food, and other items available to them. As availability of food is the primary factor affecting the abundance of raccoons, the highest population densities are often found in large cities. In the wild raccoons live in a wide variety of forest and grassland habitats. Most often found in proximity to water, they are also proficient swimmers. They climb readily and usually den in riverbanks, hollow trees or logs, or abandoned beaver lodges.
