Star-nosed mole with distinctive nose and detailed features, isolated on white background.

Star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata) isolated on a white background. It features a distinctive fleshy nose with 22 pink, fleshy appendages that act as sensory organs. The mole has dark fur, small eyes, and large forelimbs with long claws designed for digging. Found in wet lowland areas of eastern Canada and the northern United States, this unique mammal is adapted to detect prey using its specialized nose. Its compact body and short limbs are typical of moles, aiding in its subterranean lifestyle.
