Digimorph - Talpa europaea (European mole) Expert annotations for this species! See below. ) is widely distributed throughout temperate parts of Europe and Asia. It does not extend south beyond the Pyrenees (and is therefore absent from the Iberian Peninsula) and is missing from the north of Scandinavia. It is also missing from Ireland. Although broadly resembling a rather fat glossy mouse, the European mole belongs to the mammalian group Insectivora, along with hedgehogs, shrews and desmans. It is effectively a large (120-180 mm) subterranean shrew, living under deciduous woodland and grassland where there is sufficient depth of soil. All talpids (moles) with the exception of the water-living desman (and the rather ambulatory shrew mole which lacks digging specialisations) live in self-made subterranean burrows.
