The star-nosed mole has an extra pair of hands... on his nose!

Have you ever heard about the 'star nosed mole'? It is probably the only animal who appears to have an extra pair-of-hands... on his nose!
Here you can read more much about the functioning of this funy hand-like nose:
A nose that looks like a hand and acts like an eye: the unusual mechanosensory system of the star-nosed mole

Yes Patti... this is quite fascinating, and the following picture provides the impression that there are even 'dermatoglyphic-like'- and 'phalange-like' structures present on the 22 fingers of this hand-like nose:

That's the image I was looking for, I have it saved on my computer too, but found the other one instead.
These moles use the appendages when they burrough and search for prey. They have a heightened sense for vibration in the ground.
