. Its eastern distribution limits extend to around Umm Al Qiţţayn on the fringes of the black lava desert. Ras an Naqb represents its most southern range of distribution in the Middle East. This mole is an aggressive fossorial solitary species. Its presence is immediately confirmed by the existence of the variously-sized mounds that reflect its activity in open fields. Burrows are subdivided into three layers; the outer most is for food storage with connections to peripheral feeding tunnels (Nevo, 1961).
