Found dead in my yard--I had not realized there were any moles in the area, as the heavy clay soil is not the best for tunneling, and I've never seen mole hills in my yard. (My immediate area lacks most widespread burrowing mammals: chipmunks, woodchucks, skunks.) This individual was killed by a dog, unfortunately. The upturned foot reminded me of a human palm.
