Let’s be upfront about it – I’ll admit I have a reputation for being one of the world’s weirdest looking animals.

When you first see me emerging from a dark earthy tunnel, you might think my head looks like a tiny octopus.

My hands are great for digging. Because I live underground, my eyesight is very weak. But, I’m a super speedy eater! I can find and munch a worm in a quarter of second with my super sensory powers.

I am one of only two animals that can smell underwater. I do this by blowing air bubbles and sucking them back up my nose.
