Marley's golden mole

Marley's golden mole (''Amblysomus marleyi'') is a species of burrowing mammal in the golden mole family, Chrysochloridae. It is found in South Africa and possibly Swaziland. It has been separated from ''Amblysomus hottentotus'' by Bronner (1995b, 1996, 2000).〔 Its natural habitat is indigenous forests and moist grassland, and also gardens. It is classified as ''Endangered'' in the ''IUCN Red List of Threatened Species''. The main threats it faces are habitat degradation, either through overgrazing by cattle or the removal of vegetation for firewood, and urbanization.〔
==Characteristics==

Marley's golden mole has a compact, streamlined body, a wedge-shaped head, pointed muzzle and sleek, moisture repellent fur. The upper parts are a dark reddish-brown and the underparts range from dull brown to orange-brown. It has muscular shoulders with short powerful forelimbs and strong digging claws. The third claw is enlarged and there is no fifth digit and only a vestigial first and fourth digit. The hind limbs retain all five toes which are webbed to allow for efficient backward shoveling of soil that has been loosened by the forelimbs.〔Piper, Ross. ''Extraordinary Animals: An Encyclopedia of Curious and Unusual Animals''. Greenwood Press (2007).〕 It has no external ears or tail and the vestigial eyes are covered by hairy skin. The weight is 30 – 34 grams.〔Skinner, J.D. and Chimimba, C.T. ''The Mammals of the Southern African Subregion''. Cambridge University Press (2005.)〕
