La talpa (ἀσπάλαξ/σπάλαξ trasl. aspalax/spalax, lat. talpa) era un mammifero molto diffuso in Grecia, soprattutto in Beozia (regione dalla quale proviene l'epigrafe) e conosciuto per i danni che provocava nei campi.
Plinio (NH VIII, 226) descrive la caccia alla talpa per utilizzarne la pelliccia.

TIL: The sandy blind mole rat (Spalax arenarius) is an endangered species found only along the south side of the lower Dniepr, and was only first described in 1939. Only 15-20k are believed to exist, and they were significantly harmed by the detonation of the Kakhovka Dam.

#nowplaying I love this album. Bought in Tower Records, Piccadilly, 1992. I also grabbed a handful of the Spalax CD reissues of German music: Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh, Guru Guru. What a day that was.

Few embark on weirder trips to see mammals than my friend Jon Hall. Here's an entertaining dispatch on the fine art of mole-rat watching in Romania. It involves a lot of staring at holes in the ground.
