#5 - What the heck is that!


They call it the star-nosed mole; This creature is the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my life. If you came face to face with this nasty thing, you would be scared shittless! You may wonder why this creature is called the "star-nosed mole." They call it that because its' nose looks like a star, only with more points. Their nose almost looks like a sea anemone with many long, flexible feelers.

Their bodies look like a fat, 3-D blob. This blob is filled with black fur, which is quite soft. They have four legs, which are attached to enormous paws. Connected to these paws, are the longest nails, which reach out long past two inches. Gross!
This little blob is the slowest animal thing ever. Shocking, but it's slower than molasses. Look on the bright side though. This animal is the most coordinated and organized creature yet. If your kitchen needs vacuuming, this little creature will have it all cleaned up by the time you get home at night. How great would that be to have a little mole living in your house, eating anything that doesn't belong? Only downfall of this creature is it may eat things you don't want it to. For example: bills, important papers, etc. So I recommend not leaving these types of things on the floor. The moles won't eat carpet, cords, rugs, furniture, or anything like that. These animals cannot jump or climb, so you won't have to worry about anything on your counter tops!

Star-nosed moles originally live in the jungle, but these ugly creatures are becoming popular as pets. You can now purchase a star-nosed mole at your local pet store. Interested? Go check them out today and see what I'm talking about!

Wow, that is the ugliest thing i've ever see. Where can i get one? I love it, it's freaky looking and slow, but it can clean my house. I love it plus if you close your eyes and think of something else it's kinda cute. I love it and it will remind me of the ocean because of its nose.

Gross. At first when I saw the picture of this "star-nosed mole" I honestly wanted to barf. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen too! You did a great job describing this disgusting thing. I like how you seemed grossed out while you were writing this. That was a good touch, because I was also grossed out, so I could really relate to you. I think it might have been more funny if you would have pretended you thought this thing was really pretty or something. But I also liked how you wrote about it. My favorite part is how at the end you were trying to persuade people to buy this ugly thing. That was really funny.
