moles
Subterranean lawn dwellers
Moles are small burrowing mammals with velvety fur, tiny eyes, and powerful forelimbs adapted for digging.
They live underground and are considered pests for the tunnels they create in lawns.
A mole is also a dark spot on the skin—a cluster of pigmented cells, usually harmless but sometimes monitored for changes.
In espionage, a mole is an undercover agent who infiltrates an organization over a long period: They discovered a mole in the intelligence agency.
In chemistry, a mole is a unit measuring the amount of a substance, equal to Avogadro's number of particles.
