There are many strange creatures in the world, and there is a strange animal with a strange star-like nose, like an alien creature, which is the star-nosed mole.
Star-shaped nose
The star-nosed mole is one of the most peculiar animals in the world, and the most special thing about it is that it has 22 fleshy tentacles around the tip of the nose, forming an astral structure. They have a protruding snout, a cylindrical body, strong forelimbs, broad soles of their feet, and sharp claws.

Such a weird shape, if the body is huge, will definitely make people fearful, but don't worry, the star-nosed mole is a small mammal, weighing only about 50 grams, living in the shallow tunnels of wetlands, throughout the northeast of the United States and eastern Canada, often hunting in the dark underground, underwater hunting.
The star-nosed mole has poor vision and hearing, and in a dark environment, it lives on its nose. After the researchers enlarged its strange star nose, they found that the star nose is completely composed of sensory organs, like the retina of the human eye, surrounding the surface of 22 antennae around the nostrils.
The sensory organs make up the star nose
Scientists at Vanderbilt University in the United States have found that the star-nosed mole is the world's fastest-moving mammal predator. With the help of a high-speed camera, you can see that the "star nose" can touch more than 12 places per second. Therefore, the star-nosed mole can complete the whole process of determining the position of the prey and preying on it in a very short time of a quarter of a second. In just one second, you can find and eat five prey.

The strange "star-shaped nose" of the star-nosed mole is like a radar scan to quickly locate the prey, the brain reacts rapidly, and preys on the prey at the fastest speed, this strange way of predation, the speed of operation is amazing!
