![]() ![]() This animal has many benefits in forests like transporting the soil, and the areas carved by it are used by other animals, and also contributes to the development of the natural environment of the forest. ‘’Abou said’’ continued: “Let the mole lives in its natural environment and play its role in the ecological balance, but if it causes damage to cultivated areas, we should combat it. Whether the disadvantages of mole are more than its advantages, Abu Said said: “All the objects on the face of the earth become subversive if they are increased, as long as their number is limited, they will not have a negative impact. ![]() In this context, Dr.’’Abu Said’’ said: “There is a very basic and very important role for the mole in terms of ventilation soil, and then devouring worms underground, as well as when it unearth the dirt and get it out to the surface, it contributes to the soil renewal, but on the other side, farmers complain from it because of having negative effects on the vegetables seasons, because this animal fed on the roots of vegetables, including potatoes, carrots and fruit trees.”Īnd about the ways for combatting this animal, he said: “Farmers resort usually to three ways to eliminate the mole, the first is putting a trap connected to a hunting weapon provided by a cartridge hunting 12 mm kicks, and the second using toxins, pesticides, and the third by floating its living areas by water.” If there were ecological systems in nature that constitute a vital ocean for other spices, a question should be asked about this animal that farmers suffer from: what is his role in the nature? Is it just a parasite and a ‘’subversive’’ animal? ![]() He stated also: “We captured a number of them in the context of the study that we have made – in its practical part – and we found that their weight limits is up to two hundred grams and a length of between 18 and 20 centimeters.” And he said: “There is always a lack of information on the level of the special mole Data, but certainly the number of moles is in decrease according to the red list (the International Council for the Conservation of Nature).” He pointed out that ” the Lebanese mole belongs to the species known as ‘’Spalax Leucodon Ehrenbelgi’’, which is a type between ten species that exists in the world,” pointing out that ” the growth of its teeth do not stop because they are exposed to be broken during the drilling of the ground, so it close the mouth and its teeth remain out his mouth to prevent the entrance of dirt during drilling.” Noting that it does not have a form of external ear. ‘’Abu Saeed’’ adds: ‘’ the Lebanese mole is blind, but if we remove the skin at its two small facial holes, we can see its eyes, but it does need them, for the simple reason that it live in a dark environment underground using its powerful hearing. What draws the attention is that there are no adequate studies about this animal, and here comes the importance of the study that documented many details that are unknown about the mole, and these details will answer many scientific questions about this “mysterious” animal which “live all his life underground”. ‘’mounir abou said’’ prepared a study, three years ago, in collaboration with the “Slovenia University’’ and an expert on rodents, Professor ‘’Boris Skate’’ about rodents in Lebanon. ‘’Mounir Abu Said’’ stated to ‘’greenarea’’. And perhaps, our ancestors has discovered its “very strong head that is able to dig the ground even in the very hard regions, so that people admire its ability to the fragmentation and the building of corridors, as the head of the” identification of wildlife and conservation center – aley” Dr. The mole is a symbol of perseverance and strength, and people often conjure the mole to confirm the perseverance. It is the mole, a nocturnal animal that contributes in the ventilation and the renewal of the soil, but it remain a “subversive” in the eyes of farmers because it nibbles the roots of the plant by searching harmful insects which feed on. A Mysterious animal that is not very known: it distances from the sun and lives in the darkness under the cover dirt, what keeps it in a mystery world surrounded by many questions, but we know its place through holes in the ground. ![]()
