How can you tell if you have a mouse or a baby mole?

To distinguish between a mouse and a baby mole, observe their physical characteristics. Mice typically have long tails, large ears, and a slender body, whereas baby moles have short, hairless bodies, tiny eyes, and are almost entirely buried in fur. Additionally, moles have powerful forelimbs adapted for digging, while mice are more agile and accustomed to climbing and running. Lastly, the habitat can provide clues; mice are often found in homes or fields, while moles are more likely in gardens or burrowing underground.
