How does a mole dig through the ground?

What Crafty Clover says in this video

Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. How does a mole dig through the ground?

The Big Idea

Moles dig tunnels underground! Really fast! How do they do it?

Shovel Paws

Step one: Shovel Paws. A mole has wide, strong front paws with big claws, like shovels. They face outward, so the mole can sweep dirt aside as it moves forward.

Tiny Eyes

Step two: Tiny Eyes. A mole has tiny eyes, since there's little light underground. It finds food mostly by touch and smell.

Flat Fur

Step three: Flat Fur. Its soft fur lies flat in any direction, so it can move backward in a tunnel too. A mole's body is a digging machine, built for life underground.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look! Shovels. Tiny. Lies flat. Home.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! A mole's front paws are turned outward like hands. Moles find food by smell and touch. Mole fur lies flat any way. Moles are built for tunnels.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Make a pile of sand or soil. Use your hands like a mole to scoop out a tunnel. Turn your palms outward as you dig. See how far you can go. Wash your hands afterward.
