PPT-Foraging in moles, bees, and birds

Starnosed mole Lives in wet marshy soil Burrowing habitat in dark tunnels Eats earthworms and other prey Eyes are greatly reduced and even in light visual information is not prioritized Uses sense of touch to find food and navigate. For example w hen a bee lands on a flower pollen ends up sticking to the pollinator bees are fuzzy So as they zoom from flower to flower to gather food pollen and nectar bees are also delivering the pollen that allows flowers and many crops to becom John Rudolph.
