7. Star-Nosed Mole
Location: Wet low areas of Eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, with records extending along the Atlantic coast as far as extreme southeastern Georgia.
These creatures possess one of the most bizarre noses in the entire animal kingdom. The snouts are lined with more than 25,000 minute sensory receptors that help the mole feel its way through its underground lair. These 11 pairs of pink fleshy appendages ringing its snout is used as a touch organ and are perfectly poised to detect seismic wave vibrations.
