Reproduction
From June to January the mole is sexually inactive and has only one, relatively short breeding season that occurs in the spring. Mating occurs over a span of a few weeks in March and April, followed by a gestation period of 4-5 weeks. Most births will occur at the end of April or at the beginning of May. The litter size ranges from 2-7. There is a lactation period that follows, where the young remains at the mother’s nest for 4-5 weeks but normally at the end of June the young are required to leave the tunnels.

Famous quotes containing the word reproduction:
“The atmosphere parents wish to create when talking with children about birth and reproduction is warm, honest, and reassuring, one that tells children they are free to ask questions as often as they need to, and you will answer them as lovingly as you know how.”
—Joanna Cole (20th century)
“It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“An original is a creation
motivated by desire.
Any reproduction of an original
is motivated by necessity ...
It is marvelous that we are
the only species that creates
gratuitous forms.
To create is divine, to reproduce
is human.”
—Man Ray (1890–1976)
