You will ask me what is that? Or what do you eat it with? But I have come across this exotic little animal of nature, so rare that I could not stop sharing it with you. Just look at this image and tell me what comes to your mind first. That “The Predator” is not the famous movie because any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence

The star-nosed mole receives its name from the particular nose it has, which is formed by 22 pink, mobile, flexible tentacles at the end of the snout and are highly sensitive to touch, essential for capturing worms and insects, and it is one of the animals that are capable of eating in just two tenths of a second whatever is in their path. It takes the star-nosed mole only 8 milliseconds to determine whether or not what is in front of it is edible; This speed is equal to the information transmission capacity of neurons. Incredible! And it has developed this ability to make up for its blindness in the central part of his nose has an element that, although it is tactile, its nervous organization is the same as that of a visual system.
It is said that scientists have not discovered in another mammal the ability that it has to smell underwater, like all moles it is a good swimmer and can move with the waves of the water even if it moves against the current.
Super interesting! Everything that exists in nature
