Orlov's Mole

Orlov's mole is known from Lao Cai Province in northern Vietnam and from Yunnan in southern China, and may have a wider distribution in the highlands of northern Laos and in areas of north-western Vietnam west of the Red River (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is a large mole, comparable in size to the long-nosed mole, and is distinguished by a long, club-shaped tail and a small, light-built skull with a narrow rostrum compared with Kuznetsov's mole. It has shorter tooth rows than the long-nosed mole (Wikipedia, general species account).
