Talpa europaea – Rare Albino Mole – In excellent condition – No reserve. A striking and unusual centrepiece for any natural-history interior: this rare albino European mole (Talpa europaea) displays the extraordinary pale cream coloring caused by a genetic absence of pigmentation—a phenomenon exceptionally uncommon in wild insectivores. Mounted in a classic diorama style on an earthen base with subtle moss details, the specimen radiates both scientific interest and decorative appeal. Albino moles are rarely encountered due to their subterranean lifestyle and extremely low survival rates in the wild. This makes the specimen a highly desirable addition for collectors of curiosities, natural-history displays, Wunderkammer cabinets or educational collections. Natural-history context The European mole is one of Europe’s most specialised subterranean mammals. Its cylindrical body, reduced eyesight and iconic spade-like forelimbs allow it to excavate complex tunnel systems in search of earthworms. In albino individuals, the typical velvet-black coat is replaced by a cream or off-white tone, giving a unique view into the genetic variability of this species.
