Scalopus aquaticus Biology - Eastern Mole - Geographic Range

Geographic Range
The Eastern Mole is found from southeastern Wyoming, South Dakota, and central Texas east to Michigan, Massachusetts, and New England, south to the tip of Florida,
and north to Ontario. Small relict populations are found in southwestern Texas and in northwestern Mexico.

The home range of the males is approximately 1 acre, and the female home range is considerably smaller. The tunnels are either surface runways approximately 1-4 inches deep and are used for feeding or deep permanent passages 4 - 15 inches deep used for living quarters. Moles do not hibernate and are active year round.
