Here are some moles that I have come across on television and in books.  Some are more famous than others, and this page just keeps growing as people point out ones that I am missing - keep them coming!

Ok these are new to me - and I have my children to thank for their inclusion!  They are of course Pokémon moles - on the left Diglett and on the right Dugtrio - who apparently evolve from Diglett (and multiply it seems!  Don't ask me....)

Another personal favourite - Digsby - at last a mole with a proper name, drawn by Kate Veale.  He features in her books centered around Oliver Otter and Friends.  I included Oliver Otter and friends in the right hand pic especially for you, Lynne!
