The Altai mole or Siberian mole (Talpa altaica) is a species of mole in the family Talpidae.[1] It is found throughout the taiga zone of south-central Siberia in Russia, as far south as northern Mongolia and Kazakhstan.[2]
This mole lives in forested habitat and feeds mainly on earthworms.[1]
This is a common species. It is sometimes caught for its fur.[1]
