Broad-footed Moles' fur is nearly uniformly black. They seem to prefer moist soils, but will inhabit dry areas with large boulders. They breed in January or February, and litters of 2—5 young are born in March or April in a nest chamber in a deep tunnel. Broad-footed Moles consume earthworms, but eat other invertebrates if earthworms are unavailable.
Fun Fact Broad-footed Moles' forefeet are almost as wide as they are long. This is where their name comed from!
