From Wikipedia
The star-nosed mole is a small semiaquatic mole found in moist, low elevation areas in the northeastern parts of North America. It is the only extant member of the tribe Condylurini and genus Condylura.

With the help of its Eimer's organs, it may be perfectly poised to detect seismic wave vibrations.
