European Mole

The mole is an almost blind mammal that spends nearly all its life underground in a tunnel system that is constantly extended (I guess everybody knows the characteristic molehills, so hated by gardeners and farmers)

Some time ago, we had an ultra dry period in Belgium during 3 months.
In such situation, when there is no water to be found underground, a mole sometimes gets above ground to look for an external source of water.

I was lucky to spot this animal during such a search.
