Bald Mole

Diet
A mole's diet primarily consists of earthworms and other small invertebrates found in the soil and also a variety of nuts. Because their saliva contains a toxin that can paralyze earthworms, moles are able to store their still living prey for later consumption. They construct special underground "larders" for just this purpose—researchers have discovered such larders with over a thousand earthworms in them. Before eating earthworms, moles pull them between their squeezed paws to force the collected earth and dirt out of the worm's gut.
The Star-nosed Mole can detect, catch and eat food faster than the human eye can follow (under .3 seconds).
Although the mole can be eaten, the taste is said to be deeply unpleasant.
