I know nothing about moles, but I can assure you, gophers/groudhogs make holes.I know this because I’m a cemetery guide. We guides are required to warn our visitors about the holes “about the size of a human foot” that the groundhogs make.
Henry Beck Hirst (1813-74) was a lawyer, a pet-store owner, a poet and one of Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite drinking buddies. In 1845, he published “The Coming of the Mammoth”. a poetry antholgy. The title piece is about an Ice-Age Native American tribe persuing a man-eating(!) mammoth across the North American continent. Poe called it “preposterous”.And then he criticised it.
You can just imagine what they might do to a 78-acre historic cemetery!
