More animals in my yard.

Yesterday, while 4 to 5 children were raking my front yard, there were shouts of "Mouse, mouse". I went over to check it out. It was a mole. Quite small, maybe 2 to 2.5 inches long, a little squished-looking, probably not even 0.5 inches at max distance from the ground and 1 inch wide. It wasn't "fat", but more widely splayed hips.

It had a little snout. It was dark brown in color with short dense fur. It stuck close to the ground and scurried to get away from the party of children examining it. It eventually got under the leaves that had not been raked yet and got away from the children.
