Stuhlmann's golden mole occurs in the mountains of central and eastern Africa and may emerge to forage after rain.
Its short, dense fur is brown or dark green above and lighter below, with an iridescent purple sheen at some angles. Fur covers the eyes, and the forefeet have long, thick claws.
It searches for food in tunnels near the surface and may feed on earthworms and other invertebrates above ground after rain.
