Did you know - Grant's golden mole eyes don't function?
Grant's golden mole because they spend most of their time underground with no light.

Like the name says...they are "moles" so they like digging hence eyes are covered with fur.
They depend on their sense of hearing to locate much of their prey, and the cochleas of a number of golden mole species have been found to be long and highly coiled, which may indicate a greater ecological dependence on low frequency auditory cues than we see in Talpid moles. Some species also have hypertrophied middle ear ossicles, in particular the malleus, which apparently is adapted towards the detection of seismic vibrations.
