I hope you are all well friends I will tell you today about the Mole it is a rat like animal and it is not often seen. It builds a deep tunnel in the ground and needs enough power to survive and its strength can be gauged from the fact that it can dig a tunnel 200 feet deep in a field.
In fact, the claws of a mole are very sharp and pointed. A mole with a long nose resembles an elephant which these insects use to feed on insects. There are about twenty species of moles in the world, and the Somali mole is one of the most mysterious. Only 39 scientists collected the information a few decades ago and stored it in a museum.
Because this breed was first seen only in Somalia, it was named Somali Chhochundar. This animal was rediscovered after many years. Steven Heritage, an American scientist, said he was "delighted" to have rediscovered the species. He told the BBC that when we saw a stiff tail of this animal, we knew that we had discovered a special animal. We were very happy about that.
Fifty years later, an African mole with a long snout was rediscovered in Africa. This is a mammal that is related to an elephant. But it is as small as a mouse. Little is known about this animal. This animal has reappeared in Africa after an anonymity of 50 years. The last scientific record of the lost species of African mole with a snout was in 1970, despite being seen locally.
The creature was found alive and well in Djibouti, an African country, during a scientific expedition. Friends you will be surprised because this animal keeps making tunnels but the special thing is that in every colony the moles always make their habitat on the southeast side of the tunnels. Experts were amazed that a mole that could distinguish between light and darkness with its own eyes is almost blind.
How she determines the right direction in the underground darkness and always chooses only the southeast direction. For this reason, scientists thought that they had the natural ability to be guided by the earth's magnetic field, just like the birds in the mole. But nothing was known about where this ability is in their body.
Although some experts had suspicions in the eyes of the mole, but they did not have any concrete evidence for that. German scientists have solved this problem. German scientists have removed the eyes of a mole kept in the laboratory from a need for surgery. Take out the mole's eyes. Even after losing the eyes, there was no difference in the mole's case. And they started digging tunnels like before.
When the experts became convinced that the mole was living a normal life even after losing their eyes, they created a space similar to the natural environment inside the laboratory. An artificial magnetic field was created around it which experts could control and change its direction. At this point, the mole could dig a tunnel for itself and live underground and make its own burrow.
Here, along with the blind mole, she will also leave others whose eyes were present and were not removed. Experts observed that moles with healthy eyes reacted to the change in the artificial magnetic field when they dug their burrows to the southeast according to the changed direction of the artificial magnetic field. In contrast, the eyeless mole had no effect on the magnetic field or changes in it, and they dug their burrows here and there.
This proved that in the absence of the eyes, the mole could not even perceive and receive guidance from the magnetic field.
