Moles are generally small, nearly blind mammals that dig - a lot..and eat - a LOT!...There are several different types of moles that have different ranges of weights; for example: The American Shrew Mole weights 8-14.5 grams The Star-Nosed Mole, with its unusual nose shaped like a star, weighs 34-78 grams
The Rare Senkaku Mole, found only on the disputed Uotsuri-jima Island (the island is claimed by China, Taiwan and Japan.) weighs about 43 grams. The Eastern Mole weighs 67-140 grams Here are some more links with information about moles: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/mammals/mole/Mole printout.shtml http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/chordata/mammalia/insectivora/tal pidae.html
