Image of Broad-footed Mole

Description:

Dead along the trail. Stiff and ants ran out of the only apparent injury when flipped over. If killed by a predator, it wasn't eaten. Tracker I know has said that this is quite common and there are theories floating about as to why these animals are killed but not eaten. I don't know to what extent it has been studied.
