description · Plazi

Descriptive notes. Head-body 124-232 mm, tail 20-34 mm, hindfoot 19-24-6 mm; weight up to 225 g. Males are larger than females. The Altai Mole is the largest species of Talpa , with short tail and broad rhinarium. Eyelids are not sealed; acoustic aperture is I mm in diameter. Furis light mouse gray, blackish gray, or deep brown, with buff tints along spine and on throat and chest. Albino individuals are rare. Pelvis has fourth sacral foramen open posteriorly. Skull differs from other species of Talpa with its extended nares and slit-like anteorbital foramen. Upper tooth row is short, accounting for 35-40% of condylo-basal length. Teeth are small, and upper premolars are nearly as large as upper molars; upper incisor is high and daggerlike; and M' is narrow, with small protocone. Dental formulais13/3,C1/1,P4/4,M 3/3 (x2) = 44. Due to frequent supernumerary, absent, and connate teeth, actual dental formula is between 34 and 47, and 23% of Altai Moles have numbers of teeth that deviate from 44. Missing premolars are the most common anomaly, followed by connate teeth and supernumerary teeth.
