The hairy-tailed mole has eyes hidden by fur and a furry tail. It lives in underground tunnels and searches for worms and insects.
Its fur is dark gray to black, and its short tail looks hairy. The eyes are hidden by fur, and the external ears are not visible.
It may be active by day or night, but it often forages at night, searching its tunnels for earthworms, insects, and snails.
