Explanatory notes: The star-nosed mole inhabits wet low-lying areas of Canada and the northeastern US. It has been much less well known than its lawn-disturbing cousin, the common Eastern mole. National Geographic recently suggested that it may be the weirdest creature on the planet.
(to the tune of "Heart and Soul")
Star-nosed mole – I fail to grasp your charms -
Star-nosed mole – I fail to grasp your charms -
Fleshy snout, thick tail and flipper arms
Slit eyes,
No need to use a mirror:
You won’t be ogled by peers.
Star-nosed mole – a neuroscience find -
Tactile nose, hunts prey though eyes are blind
Feelers (tentacles)
Discern where kisses
land,
Just like an eye or a
hand.
Stim-response? – Earth’s quickest, Wiki say,
Nostrils
In midst of quivering
nose,
Stay underwater closed.
How do you get to
breeding, her-and-himm-ing?
So, you can ‘see'
By integrating touch,
Brain can ‘watch’- snarf
yummy worms and such.
Somehow
You find cloacal holes
Of other star-nosed moles.
