Perhaps you are thinking of a specific animal that shares some characteristics with moles, like:
* Shrews: These small, mouse-like mammals are often mistaken for moles. They have pointed snouts, tiny eyes, and live in burrows, but they are not as well-adapted for digging as moles.
* Voles: These small rodents are also burrowing animals, but they have larger eyes and ears than moles.
* Pocket gophers: These rodents are strong diggers, with large claws and powerful shoulders, similar to moles. However, they have fur above their eyes and are distinct from moles in appearance.
To help me understand what you're looking for, could you tell me more about what characteristics you're interested in? For example:
* What size is the animal?
* Where does it live?
* What does it eat?
* What does it look like?
With more information, I can give you a more specific answer.
