The marsupial mole is a small blind mammal that spends its entire life underground in the sandy deserts of Australia. It has a cylindrical body, powerful front paws with large claws, and golden fur.
The marsupial mole differs from placental moles in that it belongs to marsupials and has a pouch for young. It is important for nature because it loosens desert soil and helps control insect populations.
