Star-nosed Moles
I mentioned Star-nosed moles in a previous post. The illustration doesn't really do it justice. I suppose the illustrator toned down the drawing because, in RL, its just too freaky. Nobody would believe him.
Here's a nice post on Star-nosed moles.
Addenum: Ed Yong pointed out this post. Holy crap! That's awesome! Moles rock!
John, you might be interested in this clever little experiment which found that the mole's nose works underwater too. I love the cool image of the nose's tentacles cradling an air bubble.
